Description

10-Undecenoic Acid, 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl Ester is a high-purity specialty ester derived from undecylenic acid and glycerol. This compound is valued for its bifunctional nature, combining the reactivity of an unsaturated fatty acid chain with the hydrophilic character of a glycerol backbone. It serves as a versatile chemical intermediate and functional additive for demanding applications in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and polymer industries, where consistent quality and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of prodrugs, lipophilic drug carriers, and bioactive molecules.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Functions as a reactive diluent, plasticizer, or cross-linking agent in specialty coatings, adhesives, and unsaturated polyester resins.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Employed as a synthetic base oil or additive component to enhance lubricity and stability.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Serves as a key hydrophobic building block for non-ionic surfactants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a protected or polymerizable intermediate in organic chemistry for introducing long-chain unsaturated esters.
