Description

n-Tetradecylsuccinic Anhydride is a high-purity, long-chain alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivative, serving as a critical intermediate in advanced material synthesis. Its value lies in its ability to impart hydrophobic and reactive properties, enabling the creation of high-performance polymers, coatings, and functional additives. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product durability and performance.

Application

• As a key monomer for the synthesis of polyimide resins and other high-temperature polymers.
• As a reactive intermediate in the production of corrosion inhibitors and metal surface treatment agents.
• In the formulation of epoxy curing agents and hardeners for coatings and adhesives.
• As a building block for lubricant additives, improving viscosity and anti-wear properties.
• For the modification of alkyd resins to enhance flexibility and water resistance.
• In the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers with specific hydrophobic chain characteristics.
• As a derivatization agent in analytical chemistry and pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis.

Quality Control

Our n-Tetradecylsuccinic Anhydride is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, acid value, and impurity profile determination, to ensure consistent purity and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are 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 room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture.
