Description

2-Hydroxyhexacosyl 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoate is a high-purity, long-chain hydroxy fatty acid ester with a complex molecular structure. This specialty chemical is valued for its unique amphiphilic properties, derived from its dual hydroxyl functionalities and extended carbon chain, making it a versatile building block and performance additive. It is primarily sought after by R&D and production teams in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty lubricants industries for formulating advanced emollients, waxes, and high-performance surface-active agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance emollient, thickener, and stabilizer in luxury creams, lotions, lipsticks, and solid perfume sticks.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Used as a synthetic wax component or additive in high-temperature lubricants, mold release agents, and polishes.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Serves as a matrix former or controlled-release agent in topical drug delivery systems and ointments.
• Surface Coatings & Polishes: Imparts water repellency, gloss, and hardness in automotive, furniture, and industrial protective coatings.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Utilized as a key starting material or intermediate for synthesizing more complex esters, polymers, and surfactants.
• Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial labs for studying lipid behavior, membrane biophysics, and novel biomaterials.

Quality Control

Our 2-Hydroxyhexacosyl 12-Hydroxyoctadecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and spectroscopy, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an organic compound that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
