Description

Disodium Epoxysuccinate is a high-purity, water-soluble organic salt with significant chelating and stabilizing properties. Its primary value lies in its ability to effectively sequester metal ions, making it a crucial component in formulations requiring control over oxidation and unwanted catalytic activity. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance product stability and performance. Its reliable quality and consistent supply are critical for B2B clients focused on advanced chemical synthesis and high-value formulation.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a highly effective chelating agent in shampoos, creams, and lotions to stabilize formulations by inactivating trace metal ions that can cause rancidity and discoloration.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Enhances the cleaning efficiency of industrial and institutional formulations by softening water and preventing scale deposition.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a specialty reagent or catalyst component in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions where epoxide functionality is required.
• Food Processing (Technical Grade): Employed in equipment cleaning formulations and as a processing aid where metal ion control is necessary.
• Water Treatment: Functions as a sequestrant in boiler water and cooling water systems to control scaling from calcium and magnesium ions.

Quality Control

Our Disodium Epoxysuccinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, heavy metals, and loss on drying are provided with each shipment. We are committed to supplying material that aligns with GMP principles and relevant industry standards for consistent, reliable performance in your applications.

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 tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect purity and handling properties. Keep away from incompatible materials.
