Description

9E-Hexadecen-1-Ol is a high-purity, long-chain unsaturated fatty alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and building block in the synthesis of fine chemicals, specialty esters, and performance additives. It is particularly valuable for industries requiring precise molecular structures to impart specific functional properties. Key users include manufacturers in the fragrance, cosmetic, lubricant, and pharmaceutical sectors.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of aroma chemicals and musk precursors.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredients: Acts as an emollient or a base for producing esters used in creams, lotions, and conditioners.
• Lubricant and Fuel Additives: Serves as a precursor for synthetic esters that enhance lubricity, thermal stability, and anti-wear properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and drug delivery agents.
• Polymer and Plasticizer Modification: Used to introduce unsaturated sites for cross-linking or to create specialized plasticizers.
• Surfactant and Detergent Synthesis: A key raw material for producing non-ionic surfactants with specific branching and solubility profiles.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Utilized in the production of adjuvants and carrier systems for pesticides and herbicides.
• Research and Development: Serves as a standard or reagent in organic synthesis and chemical research.

Quality Control

Our 9E-Hexadecen-1-Ol is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide full traceability and Certificates of Analysis (COA) are available for all shipments. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP and ISO 9001 standards to meet the rigorous demands of our global B2B clientele.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers should be purged with inert gas after each opening to maintain product integrity.
