Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl) Hydrogen Adipate is a versatile bifunctional chemical intermediate, combining the properties of a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group. This unique structure makes it a valuable building block for synthesizing polymers, plasticizers, and specialty esters. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the polymer, coatings, and personal care industries for creating tailored materials with specific performance characteristics.

Application

• Polymer Synthesis: As a monomer or co-monomer for producing polyesters, polyurethanes, and alkyd resins, imparting flexibility and hydrophilicity.
• Plasticizer Production: Used in the manufacture of polymeric plasticizers for PVC and other polymers to improve low-temperature flexibility and durability.
• Crosslinking Agent: Functions as a crosslinker in thermosetting resins and coatings, enhancing mechanical strength and chemical resistance.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Serves as an intermediate for synthetic lubricants and greases with high thermal stability.
• Personal Care Ingredients: An intermediate for emollients and conditioning agents in cosmetics and skincare products.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Used to modify the properties of adhesives and sealants, improving adhesion and flexibility.

Quality Control

Our (2-Hydroxyethyl) Hydrogen Adipate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets precise chemical and physical specifications, including identity, purity, and acid value. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
