Description

Sodium 2-[[2-[(16-Methylheptadecanoyl)Oxy]Propionyl]Oxy]Propionate is a specialized anionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from a branched-chain fatty acid. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties and stability in various formulations, making it a critical component for achieving specific performance characteristics. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for its emulsifying and solubilizing capabilities.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products for stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Solubilizing Agent for fragrances, essential oils, and hydrophobic active ingredients in clear gels and aqueous solutions.
• Surfactant Base in high-performance industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations and degreasers.
• Stabilizing Agent in pharmaceutical topical preparations to ensure consistent drug delivery and product shelf-life.
• Foam Booster and Viscosity Modifier in personal care products like shampoos, body washes, and shaving foams.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex ester-based surfactants and specialty chemicals.

Quality Control

Our production of Sodium 2-[[2-[(16-Methylheptadecanoyl)Oxy]Propionyl]Oxy]Propionate adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and compliance with relevant industry standards. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance processes.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
