Description

2-Hydroxy-p-Mentha-6(1),8-Diene-2-Sulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is a high-purity, water-soluble organic salt derived from a terpene sulfonic acid. This compound is valued for its unique chemical structure, which provides excellent surfactant and chelating properties in demanding formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, flavor & fragrance, and specialty chemical industries for use as a stabilizer, solubilizer, or intermediate.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a mild surfactant, stabilizer, or solubilizer in shampoos, facial cleansers, and other rinse-off products.
• Flavor & Fragrance Industry: Used as a solubilizing agent or a precursor in the synthesis of complex aroma chemicals.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Specialty Surfactants: Incorporated into formulations requiring specific chelating or mild cleansing properties.
• Industrial Cleaning: Used in specialized cleaning formulations where its chelating power aids in water softening and soil removal.
• Research & Development: Employed as a standard or reagent in chemical research and analytical laboratories.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxy-p-Mentha-6(1),8-Diene-2-Sulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for assay and purity, to ensure it meets precise specifications and is free from unwanted impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, purity, and related substances is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be kept in its original, sealed packaging until use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
