Description

Sodium Icos-9-Enoate is the sodium salt of the monounsaturated fatty acid, icos-9-enoic acid (gondoic acid). This specialized oleochemical intermediate is valued for its surfactant properties and role in synthesizing higher-value derivatives. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking bio-based and functional ingredients.

Application

• Surfactant and Emulsifier Precursor: Serves as a key intermediate for manufacturing anionic surfactants used in personal care cleansers and industrial cleaners.
• Cosmetic Ingredient: Used in the formulation of creams, lotions, and other emulsions where its salt form provides stability and skin-feel benefits.
• Lubricant and Metalworking Fluid Additive: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and friction modifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic fluid formulations.
• Soap and Detergent Industry: Acts as a component in specialty soap bars and liquid detergents, contributing to lather quality and mildness.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Employed as a solubilizing agent or emulsifier in topical drug delivery systems.
• Chemical Synthesis: Used as a building block for producing esters, amides, and other derivatives with tailored properties for various industrial applications.
