Description

Bis(2-Octyldodecyl) n-(1-Oxododecyl)-L-Glutamate is a high-purity, synthetic ester derivative of L-glutamic acid, designed for advanced formulation stability and performance. This compound matters for its role as a versatile, lipophilic intermediate and functional additive, offering excellent solubility in non-polar matrices. It is needed by R&D and production teams in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking sophisticated emollients, viscosity modifiers, or coupling agents for high-performance products.

Application

• Primary use as a high-performance emollient and skin-conditioning agent in luxury skincare and cosmetic formulations.
• Acts as a viscosity modifier and stabilizer in anhydrous systems, creams, and ointments.
• Serves as a lipophilic carrier or solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in topical drug delivery systems.
• Functions as a key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex polymers and specialty surfactants.
• Used as a plasticizer and lubricity additive in specialty industrial coatings and lubricants.
• Potential application in food-grade release agents and processing aids, subject to regulatory approval and specific grade availability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider keeping under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent degradation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
