Description

Hexadec-15-Enylsuccinic Acid is a high-purity, long-chain alkenylsuccinic acid derivative, a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized surfactants and performance chemicals. Its unique structure, featuring a terminal double bond and a succinic acid moiety, provides exceptional reactivity for creating tailored molecules with specific surface-active and hydrophobic properties. This compound is essential for industrial chemists and formulators in the lubricant additives, corrosion inhibitor, and specialty polymer sectors seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Lubricant Additive Intermediate: Serves as a crucial precursor for synthesizing succinimide dispersants and ashless anti-wear agents, improving engine cleanliness and oil life.
• Corrosion Inhibitor Formulation: Used in the production of filming amines and other inhibitors for protecting metal surfaces in industrial cooling systems and fuel pipelines.
• Specialty Surfactant Synthesis: Acts as a hydrophobic head group for creating novel non-ionic and anionic surfactants with low foam and high emulsifying power.
• Polymer Modification: Employed as a comonomer or grafting agent to introduce functional carboxyl groups and long alkyl chains into polymers, enhancing compatibility and surface properties.
• Paper Sizing Agent Production: A key raw material for manufacturing alkenyl succinic anhydride (ASA) derivatives, which are effective internal sizing agents for paper and board.
• Fuel & Detergent Additives: Utilized in the synthesis of deposit control additives for gasoline and diesel fuels, helping to maintain injector and valve cleanliness.

Quality Control

Every batch of Hexadec-15-Enylsuccinic Acid is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and provide comprehensive analytical data. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment to guarantee traceability and consistent performance for your critical synthesis 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
