Description

Sodium (Z)-1-(Octadec-9-Enyl)-5-Oxopyrrolidine-3-Carboxylate is a high-purity specialty chemical salt derived from a pyrrolidone carboxylic acid moiety linked to an oleyl chain. This compound matters for its unique surfactant and conditioning properties, making it a valuable intermediate in advanced formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key conditioning agent and emulsifier in hair care products (shampoos, conditioners) and skin creams.
• Surfactant Intermediate: Serves as a building block for synthesizing novel amphoteric or anionic surfactants with enhanced mildness and foaming characteristics.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in the development of topical drug delivery systems for its emulsifying and skin-penetration enhancing properties.
• Industrial Additives: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor, lubricant additive, or dispersant in specialty industrial fluid formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a specialized reagent or lipid conjugate in biochemical and membrane research applications.

Quality Control

Our Sodium (Z)-1-(Octadec-9-Enyl)-5-Oxopyrrolidine-3-Carboxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
