Description

1,2-Propanediol, 3-(Dodecyloxy)-, (2S)- is a chiral, non-ionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. This compound matters for its unique amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophilic propylene glycol moiety with a hydrophobic dodecyl (lauryl) chain, which provides excellent surface-active properties and compatibility. Industries requiring high-performance emulsifiers, solubilizers, or chiral building blocks for advanced synthesis, such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and personal care, will find this product essential.

Application

• As a chiral surfactant or emulsifier in advanced pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems.
• As a key intermediate in organic synthesis for producing specialized agrochemicals and fine chemicals.
• As a solubilizing agent for hydrophobic actives in cosmetic and personal care products.
• As a stabilizer or co-emulsifier in industrial coatings, inks, and specialty polymer applications.
• In research and development of novel surfactants and chiral catalysts.
• As a processing aid in the manufacture of specialty chemicals requiring specific surface activity.
