Description

2-Isopropyl Dihydrogen Citrate is a specialized citrate ester derivative, valued for its role as a versatile intermediate and functional additive. Its significance lies in its ability to modify solubility, chelate metal ions, and act as a precursor in synthesizing more complex compounds. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials for advanced formulations.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, where its citrate moiety can influence bioavailability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Additive: Functions as a skin-conditioning agent, pH adjuster, or a chelating agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Food & Beverage Ingredient: Potential use as a flavoring agent, acidulant, or preservative synergist in specific food-grade applications.
• Metal Chelation & Stabilization: Employed in industrial processes to sequester metal ions, preventing unwanted catalysis or discoloration.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a plasticizer or cross-linking agent in the production of specialty polymers and coatings.
• Laboratory & Research Chemical: Serves as a reagent or building block in organic synthesis and biochemical research.

Quality Control

Our 2-Isopropyl Dihydrogen Citrate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, impurity profile, and physical specifications. Quality standards can be aligned with customer-specific requirements, including those for pharmaceutical (GMP) or food-grade applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and stability.
