Description

3-(Tetracosenyl)Succinic Anhydride is a high-purity, long-chain alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivative, a critical intermediate for synthesizing specialized polymers and surface-active agents. Its value lies in its unique hydrophobic tail, which provides exceptional compatibility with non-polar systems and enables precise modification of material properties. This compound is essential for industrial chemists and formulators in the coatings, lubricant additives, and polymer modification sectors seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Internal Sizing Agent for Paper: A key hydrophobic component in alkaline papermaking processes to control water absorption and improve printability.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of ashless, high-performance additives for industrial lubricants and fuel systems.
• Epoxy Resin Modifier: Imparts flexibility, hydrophobicity, and improved adhesion to epoxy formulations for advanced composites and protective coatings.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Serves as a precursor for creating non-ionic surfactants with specific hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Polymer Crosslinking Agent: Utilized in the production of thermosetting plastics, elastomers, and sealants to control crosslink density and mechanical properties.
• Adhesive Tackifier: Enhances the tack and peel strength of hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-(Tetracosenyl)Succinic Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We employ advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and FTIR to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for industrial synthesis. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, acid value, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee reliable performance in your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to exclude moisture and prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases, acids, and oxidizing agents.
