Description

Potassium Isononanoate is a versatile potassium salt of a branched-chain fatty acid, valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is essential for formulators seeking effective, water-soluble ingredients with good stability and compatibility. It is primarily utilized in the production of industrial and institutional cleaners, personal care products, and as a chemical intermediate. Our supply of Potassium Isononanoate CAS NO 84501-71-3 ensures consistent quality and reliable performance for demanding applications.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower gels.
• Key emulsifying agent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations, including floor cleaners and degreasers.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty esters and other organic compounds.
• Stabilizer and dispersant in agricultural chemical formulations.
• Corrosion inhibitor component in metalworking fluids and coolants.
• Raw material for producing lubricant additives.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Isononanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
