Description

Dipotassium Azelate is the dipotassium salt of azelaic acid, a versatile dicarboxylic acid derivative. This high-purity salt offers enhanced solubility and stability for demanding industrial and technical applications where precise pH control and consistent ionic strength are critical. It serves as a key intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the polymer, personal care, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable performance.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Synthesis: Acts as a monomer or chain extender in the production of polyesters, polyamides, and other specialty polymers, contributing to material flexibility and durability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Utilized as a pH adjuster, buffering agent, and skin-conditioning agent in formulations such as creams, lotions, and cleansers.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Serves as an effective component in aqueous corrosion inhibitor formulations for metal treatment and cooling water systems.
• Laboratory & Research: Employed as a biochemical reagent and a standard in analytical chemistry for method development and calibration.
• Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a thickening agent and stabilizer in the manufacture of synthetic lubricants and complex grease formulations.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a buffering and neutralizing agent in dyeing processes and leather tanning operations.

Quality Control

Our Dipotassium Azelate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and loss on drying. We adhere to cGMP principles where applicable to guarantee supply reliability and batch-to-batch consistency for our global B2B partners.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
