Description

n-Icosyl-D-Gluconamide is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl gluconamide derivative, a non-ionic surfactant and specialty chemical with unique self-assembly properties. This compound is valued for its excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ability to form stable gels and liquid crystalline phases in aqueous systems. It serves as a critical raw material and intermediate for advanced formulations in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries, where mildness and structural control are paramount.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a gelator, stabilizer, or emulsifier in topical drug delivery systems, creams, and ointments.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Acts as a thickener, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in high-end skincare, lotions, and hair care products.
• Biomedical Research: Employed in the preparation of hydrogels and matrices for cell culture, tissue engineering, and controlled release studies.
• Specialty Surfactants: Serves as a key intermediate for synthesizing novel, sugar-based surfactants with low irritation potential.
• Analytical Chemistry: Can be used as a chiral selector or stationary phase modifier in chromatographic separations.
• Material Science: Utilized in the bottom-up fabrication of nanostructured materials and organic-inorganic hybrids.

Quality Control

Our n-Icosyl-D-Gluconamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity, chiral purity verification, and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment. We support compliance with cGMP, ISO, and REACH requirements as needed.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
