Description

1,4-Anhydro-D-Glucitol 6-Dodecanoate is a high-purity, synthetically derived ester compound, valued for its unique surfactant and emulsifying properties derived from its sugar alcohol and fatty acid structure. This chemical serves as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and intermediate, offering excellent stability and compatibility in sophisticated formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for creating high-performance emulsions, solubilizers, and conditioning agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and serums, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions and enhancing skin feel.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as a non-ionic surfactant in topical drug delivery systems to improve the solubility and bioavailability of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Specialty Surfactants: Serves as a building block for synthesizing advanced, biodegradable surfactants with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Food-Grade Emulsifiers: Potential application as an emulsifying agent in food products, subject to compliance with relevant food safety regulations (e.g., FCC).
• Lubricant & Release Agent: Functions as an effective component in mold release agents and specialty lubricants due to its film-forming properties.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for further chemical modifications, leveraging its reactive hydroxyl and ester functional groups.

Quality Control

Our 1,4-Anhydro-D-Glucitol 6-Dodecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by HPLC and identification by FT-IR and NMR, to ensure it meets stringent purity and consistency standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, residual solvents, and specific tests is provided with every shipment. We support compliance with REACH and can provide documentation for specific regulatory needs upon request.

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 opening to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
