Description

Butyl Pentadecanoate is a high-purity fatty acid ester derived from pentadecanoic acid. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient, valued for its stability and solubility profile in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring precise chemical properties.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs where specific lipophilicity is required.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Acts as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, and high-end cosmetic formulations.
• Specialty Lubricant & Plasticizer: Functions as a synthetic lubricant base stock and a low-volatility plasticizer for specialized polymers and elastomers.
• Chemical Synthesis Reagent: Serves as a building block or protecting group in organic synthesis, particularly in esterification and transesterification reactions.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as a precursor or a subtle fragrance component in the creation of complex aromatic compounds.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reference material in analytical chemistry and biochemical research.

Quality Control

Our Butyl Pentadecanoate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to maintain optimal purity.
