Description

Tetradecenylsuccinic Anhydride is a versatile alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of high-performance polymers, resins, and specialty chemicals. Its reactive anhydride group enables it to function as an effective curing agent, corrosion inhibitor, and surface-modifying agent, offering significant value in enhancing material properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, lubricant additives, and polymer industries seeking to improve product durability and performance.

Application

• Epoxy Resin Curing Agent: Used as a latent hardener for epoxy systems, providing improved flexibility, chemical resistance, and thermal stability in coatings, composites, and adhesives.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Intermediate: Serves as a precursor for synthesizing high-efficiency corrosion inhibitors used in fuels, lubricants, and metalworking fluids.
• Paper Sizing Agent: Employed in the production of alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) sizing agents for paper and paperboard to impart water resistance.
• Polymer Modification: Reacts with polymers to introduce functional groups, enhancing properties like adhesion, compatibility, and hydrophobicity.
• Lubricant Additive Synthesis: A key building block for manufacturing succinimide-based dispersants and detergents used in engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Surfactant and Emulsifier Production: Used to create specialty surfactants with unique surface-active properties for industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Tetradecenylsuccinic Anhydride is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, acid value, and impurity profile determination, to meet exacting customer specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and key physical-chemical parameters is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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