Description

2-Ethylhexyl (Z)-Docos-13-Enoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from erucic acid. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent emollient properties and oxidative stability, making it a key functional ingredient in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking to enhance product texture and performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a non-greasy, silky feel.
• Lubricant & Grease Additives: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants, contributing to low-temperature fluidity and enhanced film strength.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of specialized polymers and as a precursor for high-molecular-weight plasticizers.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Functions as a hydrophobic building block for non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers used in industrial and institutional cleaners.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening and lubricating agent in fiber treatments and leather fatliquoring processes.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a standard or intermediate in chemical research, particularly in lipid chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexyl (Z)-Docos-13-Enoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and specific impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen to preserve stability and prevent degradation.
