Description

Triacontanoic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain saturated fatty acid, also known as melissic acid, valued for its role as a critical building block in advanced organic synthesis and material science. Its unique structure provides excellent hydrophobic and film-forming properties, making it a key component for creating specialized surface coatings and high-performance lubricants. This product is essential for R&D laboratories, fine chemical manufacturers, and industries focused on developing specialty polymers, waxes, and cosmetic ingredients.

Application

• Specialty Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a high-melting-point fatty acid component to enhance thermal stability and water resistance.
• Surface Coatings & Waxes: Used in the formulation of protective polishes, release agents, and hydrophobic coatings for textiles and paper.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as an opacifying agent, thickener, and emollient in high-end creams, lotions, and stick formulations.
• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: A valuable monomer or modifier for producing polyesters, alkyd resins, and other specialty polymers.
• Laboratory Research & Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a standard or reagent in organic synthesis and biochemical studies.
• Food Contact Materials: Utilized in coatings and additives for packaging where specific regulatory compliance is required.

Quality Control

Our Triacontanoic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing, including identification, purity assay, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the high standards required for industrial and research applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for key parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
