Description

Tetracosanoic Acid Chloride is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid chloride derivative. This compound serves as a critical chemical building block for the synthesis of specialty esters, amides, and other complex organic molecules. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical intermediates manufacturers, lubricant additive formulators, and research laboratories in advanced material science.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Key reagent for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, particularly those requiring long aliphatic chains.
• Specialty Polymer & Resin Production: Used as a monomer or modifying agent to create polymers with specific hydrophobic or lubricating properties.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive Synthesis: Acts as a precursor for manufacturing high-performance ester-based additives that enhance viscosity and thermal stability.
• Surface Active Agent (Surfactant) Manufacturing: Employed in the production of specialized cationic or amphoteric surfactants for industrial applications.
• Organic Synthesis & Research: A versatile acylating agent in academic and industrial R&D for introducing the tetracosanoyl moiety into target molecules.
• Cosmetic Ingredient Intermediate: Used in the controlled synthesis of emollients and wax esters for high-end cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Tetracosanoic Acid Chloride is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, alcohols, and water.
