Description

Octakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Sucrose is a highly functionalized sucrose derivative where all eight hydroxyl groups are substituted with 2-hydroxypropyl ether groups. This multi-functional polyol is valued for its excellent water solubility, low toxicity, and ability to act as a reactive intermediate or a building block for more complex dendritic structures. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty polymer industries seeking biocompatible and versatile polyfunctional compounds.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizing agent, stabilizer, or carrier in drug formulations, particularly for poorly soluble active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Dendrimer & Hyperbranched Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a versatile multi-arm core molecule for constructing complex dendritic architectures for drug delivery, diagnostics, and catalysis.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Functions as a humectant, moisturizer, and conditioning agent in skin creams, lotions, and hair care products due to its hygroscopic and film-forming properties.
• Crosslinking Agent: Serves as a polyfunctional crosslinker in the production of hydrogels, resins, and specialty polymers requiring biocompatibility.
• Surface Modification: Utilized to modify the surface properties of materials, enhancing hydrophilicity and biocompatibility for medical devices or chromatographic media.
• Chemical Intermediate: Provides multiple reactive sites for further chemical modifications, enabling the synthesis of tailored surfactants, ligands, or conjugates.

Quality Control

Our Octakis(2-Hydroxypropyl)Sucrose is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, identity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, hydroxyl value, and residual solvents are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled in a dry environment to prevent caking and degradation. For long-term storage, consider using an inert atmosphere to minimize oxidation.
