Description

Sodium (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is the sodium salt of palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated ω-7 fatty acid. This high-purity chemical intermediate is valued for its role in synthesizing specialized surfactants, lubricants, and bioactive compounds. It serves as a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent quality and reliable supply.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing mild, biodegradable anionic surfactants used in high-end cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of lipid-based drug delivery systems and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) targeting metabolic pathways.
• Lubricant Additives: Serves as a precursor for ester-based lubricants and metalworking fluids, offering good lubricity and stability.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in lipidomics research and metabolic studies due to its defined structure.
• Specialty Polymer Modification: Used to introduce fatty acid chains into polymers to alter hydrophobicity, flexibility, or biocompatibility.
• Food-Grade Additive Precursor: Can be processed into derivatives used as emulsifiers or release agents in food contact applications.
