Description

2-Hydroxytetracosyl 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoate is a high-purity, synthetic diester compound with a complex, long-chain hydroxy fatty acid structure. This specialized chemical is valued for its unique amphiphilic properties, making it an effective and versatile ingredient for advanced material science and formulation chemistry. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty lubricants industries for its role as a non-ionic emulsifier, emollient, and viscosity modifier.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and lipsticks, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Specialty Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive to enhance lubricity, thermal stability, and water resistance in specialized industrial applications.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Utilized as a lipid component in topical drug delivery systems and ointments to improve drug solubility and skin penetration.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Functions as an internal or external plasticizer and processing aid to improve the flexibility and workability of polymers.
• Surface Coatings & Inks: Employed as a flow and leveling agent or a dispersant to improve the application properties and final finish of coatings.
• Research & Development: Used as a key intermediate or reference standard in the synthesis of novel surfactants, liquid crystals, and bio-based materials.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxytetracosyl 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopic methods (IR, NMR), to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
