Description

Docosanal is a high-purity, long-chain fatty aldehyde with the CAS number 57402-36-5, serving as a crucial intermediate in fine chemical synthesis. Its value lies in its defined carbon chain length, which is essential for producing specific surfactants, lubricants, and fragrance components. This product is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, flavor & fragrance, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent raw material quality for their formulations.

Application

• Flavor and Fragrance Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing aroma chemicals and musk compounds.
• Surfactant and Detergent Manufacturing: Used in the production of specialized surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and personal care applications.
• Lubricant Additive Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for high-performance lubricant additives and synthetic esters.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of specific active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients.
• Polymer and Resin Modification: Acts as a modifier or cross-linking agent in specialty polymer formulations.
• Research and Development: Used as a standard or reagent in chemical R&D for exploring new organic compounds.
