Description

Salicylic Acid, Compound With Dodecylamine (1:1) is a specific molecular complex formed between salicylic acid and dodecylamine in a 1:1 molar ratio. This compound is valued for its unique properties derived from the combination of a phenolic acid and a long-chain alkylamine, offering enhanced solubility and functionality in various formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries for use as an intermediate or active ingredient. The product is supplied with a CAS Registry Number of 7491-21-6.

Application

• Topical Pharmaceutical Formulations: Acts as a keratolytic agent and penetration enhancer in medicated creams, ointments, and gels for treating skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and warts.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Products: Used in anti-dandruff shampoos, exfoliating facial cleansers, and anti-acne serums, leveraging its solubilized salicylic acid activity.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of more complex amphiphilic compounds, surfactants, and ionic liquids.
• Industrial Additives: Potential application as a corrosion inhibitor or additive in lubricants and functional fluids due to the dodecyl chain providing hydrophobic character.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for studying drug delivery systems, co-crystal formation, and surfactant chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Salicylic Acid, Compound With Dodecylamine (1:1) is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, identification, and impurity profiles. While not typically USP/NF or Ph. Eur. graded, it can be manufactured to meet specific custom purity requirements for pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric humidity. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
