Description

Carboxylic Acids, C6-8-Neo- is a specialized blend of short-chain neo carboxylic acids, identified by CAS No. 95823-36-2. This product is valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and building block, offering unique steric properties due to its neo (highly branched) structure. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring high-performance additives and specialty monomers. Its strong acid nature and solubility in organic solvents make it a critical raw material for advanced synthesis.

Application

• Synthetic Lubricant Additives: Used as a precursor for high-performance esters that provide superior thermal stability and low-temperature fluidity.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a monomer or chain terminator in the production of specialty polymers, enhancing properties like flexibility and chemical resistance.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed in the formulation of corrosion inhibitors and emulsifiers for synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of active ingredients and fine chemicals, leveraging its reactive carboxyl group.
• Coatings & Inks: Utilized to modify alkyd resins and other coating polymers, improving drying time, adhesion, and durability.
• Plasticizers & Stabilizers: Functions as an intermediate for producing specialized plasticizers and heat stabilizers for PVC and other polymers.

Quality Control

Our Carboxylic Acids, C6-8-Neo- is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for composition and acid value titration, to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment, detailing purity, acid number, color, and moisture content. We adhere to relevant ISO standards and can support requirements for REACH, TSCA, and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The product is a strong acid/organic solvent; ensure containers are kept upright to prevent leakage and are constructed of compatible materials (e.g., stainless steel, or lined steel).
