Description

Cetoleic Acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid, specifically a C22:1 n-11 isomer, with the CAS registry number 506-36-5. This compound serves as a valuable chemical intermediate and building block for synthesizing more complex molecules, including surfactants, lubricants, and specialty polymers. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the oleochemical, personal care, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking high-purity fatty acid derivatives.

Application

• As a key chemical intermediate in the synthesis of surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and cosmetic formulations.
• In the production of specialty esters used as lubricant additives, plasticizers, and conditioners.
• As a raw material for manufacturing fatty alcohols and fatty amines through hydrogenation and amination processes.
• For research and development in lipid chemistry, including the study of membrane fluidity and bioactive lipid derivatives.
• In the formulation of corrosion inhibitors and metalworking fluid components.
• Potential use as a precursor for bio-based polymers and renewable materials.

Quality Control

Our Cetoleic Acid is produced and tested under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, potency, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an unsaturated fatty acid, it is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) is recommended to maintain product integrity.
