Description

Sucrose Heptasulfate, Potassium Salt, Technical Grade is a highly sulfated derivative of sucrose, where seven hydroxyl groups are substituted with sulfate moieties, neutralized as the potassium salt. This chemical is valued for its strong anionic character and ability to act as a polyelectrolyte, making it a versatile intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the chemical synthesis, specialty surfactant, and industrial process sectors for applications requiring charged polymers or sulfation agents.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex sulfated carbohydrates and specialty polymers.
• Polyelectrolyte Component: Functions as a charged building block in the formulation of ion-exchange resins or membrane materials.
• Surfactant & Dispersant Aid: Acts as an anionic component in specialty surfactant blends and dispersion systems for industrial processes.
• Laboratory Research: Serves as a model compound or reagent in carbohydrate chemistry and sulfation studies.
• Textile & Paper Processing: Potential use as an auxiliary chemical in dyeing or coating formulations that require ionic interactions.
• Water Treatment: May be investigated for use as a sequestrant or precipitating agent in specific water conditioning applications.

Quality Control

Our Technical Grade Sucrose Heptasulfate, Potassium Salt is produced under a quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for industrial applications. While not meeting pharmacopeial standards, the product undergoes rigorous in-process and final testing to confirm key identity and compositional parameters. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing lot-specific results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
