Description

Tetradec-2-Enylsuccinic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain alkenylsuccinic acid derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of advanced performance chemicals. This compound is valued for its bifunctional structure, which provides both a reactive carboxylic acid group and a long hydrophobic alkyl chain, enabling its use as a versatile building block. It is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant additives, corrosion inhibitor, and specialty polymer sectors seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Lubricant Additive Intermediate: A crucial precursor for synthesizing succinimide dispersants and ashless anti-wear agents used in high-performance engine and industrial oils.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Serves as a key component in creating thin-film, water-displacing corrosion preventatives for metal surfaces and parts.
• Polymer Modification: Used as a comonomer or chain terminator to introduce hydrophobic character and improve flexibility in specialty polyesters and polyamides.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Acts as a hydrophobic feedstock for producing anionic surfactants with excellent emulsifying and wetting properties.
• Paper Sizing Agent Production: Employed in the manufacture of alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivatives, which are critical for internal and surface sizing in papermaking.
• Fuel Additive Component: Utilized in the development of detergent and dispersant packages for gasoline and diesel fuels to control deposits.

Quality Control

Our Tetradec-2-Enylsuccinic Acid is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, and impurity profile are provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases, oxidizing agents, and sources of ignition. Due to its acidic nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
