Description

Tetradecyl Hydrogen Glutarate is a high-purity, long-chain ester derivative of glutaric acid. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique combination of lipophilic character and reactive terminal acid group. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and polymer industries seeking to modify product properties such as viscosity, emulsification, and surface activity.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and makeup formulations.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Functions as a friction modifier, corrosion inhibitor, and thickening agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a plasticizer and compatibilizer to improve the flexibility and processing of various polymer systems.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for the synthesis of anionic and nonionic surfactants with good biodegradability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a protected or polymerizable monomer in organic synthesis and specialty chemical production.
