Description

Magnesium Pentadecanoate CAS NO 93966-75-7 is a magnesium salt of pentadecanoic acid, a saturated fatty acid. This compound serves as a versatile metal soap with applications as a stabilizer, lubricant, and intermediate in various industrial processes. It is particularly relevant for manufacturers in the polymer, cosmetic, and specialty chemical sectors seeking reliable, high-purity metallic additives.

Application

• As a heat stabilizer and lubricant in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers.
• As a gelling agent or viscosity modifier in the formulation of greases, lubricants, and cosmetic products.
• As a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing.
• As a waterproofing agent in coatings, textiles, and construction materials.
• As a raw material (intermediate) for the synthesis of other magnesium-based compounds or specialty surfactants.
• In pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations where magnesium salts are required, subject to appropriate purity grades.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Pentadecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets defined specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, heavy metal content, and loss on drying. We can tailor quality standards to meet specific customer requirements, including those for industrial or technical grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
