Description

Nonadecanoic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain saturated fatty acid, also known as n-Nonadecanoic acid. It serves as a critical reference standard and building block in analytical chemistry and advanced organic synthesis, offering exceptional consistency for precise calibration and research. This compound is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality intermediates.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a certified external standard for Gas Chromatography (GC) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) in the analysis of complex lipid mixtures, fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs), and biological samples.
• Biochemical Research: Used in studies of lipid metabolism, membrane biophysics, and as a substrate for investigating enzyme activity related to fatty acid oxidation or elongation.
• Organic Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or starting material for synthesizing specialized surfactants, lubricant additives, plasticizers, and other long-chain derivatives.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in the formulation of high-end emollients, creams, and lotions where specific fatty acid profiles are required for texture and stability.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use in the development of lipid-based drug delivery systems, such as solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) or as a component in sustained-release formulations.
