Description

Zinc (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is the zinc salt of the monounsaturated fatty acid (Z)-hexadec-9-enoic acid, commonly known as palmitoleic acid. This specialized organometallic compound is valued for its role as a stabilizer, catalyst precursor, and reactive intermediate in advanced material synthesis. It serves critical functions in industries requiring precise metal-organic interactions, such as polymer manufacturing, lubricant formulation, and specialty chemical production. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure consistency for demanding industrial and research applications.

Application

• Polymer Additive & Stabilizer: Acts as a heat stabilizer and lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing to prevent degradation during extrusion and molding.
• Catalyst & Reagent Precursor: Serves as a valuable precursor for synthesizing zinc-based catalysts used in organic transformations and cross-coupling reactions.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Functions as a friction modifier and thickening agent in the production of high-performance synthetic lubricants and greases.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Used in protective coatings and additive packages for metals, forming a protective layer that mitigates oxidation and corrosion.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Employed as an opacifying agent, viscosity modifier, and emulsion stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and topical medicinal formulations requiring zinc delivery.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or building block in academic and industrial R&D for studying metal-soap chemistry and material properties.

Quality Control

Our Zinc (Z)-Hexadec-9-Enoate is manufactured under a quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and composition. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and moisture levels. We are committed to supplying material that is consistent and reliable for your critical processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and flow properties. Keep away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizers.
