Description

Lauroleicacid CAS NO 4998-71-4 is a monounsaturated fatty acid, specifically a C12 chain with a cis-9 double bond, serving as a key intermediate in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. Its unique structure makes it valuable for producing surfactants, lubricants, and other oleochemical derivatives where specific chain length and unsaturation are required. This product is essential for research laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and advanced materials sectors seeking high-purity fatty acid building blocks.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: A crucial building block for synthesizing specialized esters, amides, and other derivatives used in lubricants and plasticizers.
• Surfactant & Detergent Precursor: Used in the production of anionic and nonionic surfactants for industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Serves as a raw material for emollients, emulsifiers, and conditioners in cosmetic and skincare products.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Employed as an intermediate in the research and development of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs.
• Research & Development: A standard for analytical chemistry, lipidomics research, and biochemical studies involving fatty acid metabolism.
• Polymer Additives: Functions as a modifier or co-monomer in the production of specialty polymers and resins to alter flexibility and properties.

Quality Control

Our Lauroleicacid is produced under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, assay, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and other critical parameters 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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
