Description

1,2-o-Ditetradecyl-Rac-Glycerol is a synthetic, racemic glycerol ether derivative featuring two tetradecyl (myristyl) chains. This compound serves as a crucial non-ionic surfactant and lipid intermediate with excellent emulsifying and stabilizing properties. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of advanced cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemical synthesis, where precise molecular structure and purity are paramount for performance and regulatory compliance.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizer, emulsifier, and penetration enhancer in topical and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: A key component in creams, lotions, and ointments for its emollient and stabilizing effects.
• Lipid Nanocarrier Synthesis: Acts as a structural lipid in the production of liposomes, niosomes, and other nano-vesicles for targeted delivery.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in lipidomics, membrane biophysics, and model membrane studies.
• Specialty Surfactant: Functions as a non-ionic surfactant in high-performance lubricants, coatings, and agrochemical formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a versatile building block for the synthesis of more complex glycerolipids and ether-linked phospholipids.
