UNDECYLENIC ACID : CAS no.112-38-9

COMMON NAMES : Undecenoic acid ; 10-UNDECENOIC ACID 10-Undecylenic acid ; Undec-10-enoic acid ; 10-Hendecenoic acid

Undecylenic Acid (C11H20O2)  is a natural or synthetic fungistatic fatty acid, antifungal .That is, it is a compound that inhibits the growth of fungi. It is a fatty acid that may be synthetically manufactured or extracted from sources in nature. It is prepared via the distillation of castor oil. Undecylenic Acid is used topically as a zinc salt in various creams against fungal infections, eczemas, ringworm, and other cutaneous conditions. The zinc provides an astringent action, reducing rawness and irritation.Undecylenic acid is also known as 10-undecenoic acid. It is approved by the FDA for topical administration and is included in the official Inactive Ingredient Database.

Undecylenic acid is found in black elderberry. Undecylenic acid is a flavouring ingredient.

It is used in perfumery , toiletries, cosmetics, medicinal application, etc. Its compounds, peach aldehyde and C16 aldehyde, find application in perfume formulations. It is also being used as antifoaming and surface active agent. As its sulfo – succinate derivative it is used in anti-dandruff shampoos

Methyl Undecylenate ( C12H22O2) : CAS no. 111-81-9

COMMON NAME : Methyl Ester of Undecylenic Acid, Undecylenic Acid Methyl Ester, Methyl 10-Undecenoate , Methyl undecenate , 10-Undecenoic acid methyl ester

Methyl Undecylenate is a linear ester with a terminal double bond, that can be used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of aromatic chemicals, of polymers or modified silicones.

It can also be used as such in formulations requiring its anti-odor properties. Methyl Undecylenate can be used as a precursor for undecylenic derivatives in cosmetics. It can also be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of flavors and fragrances, and also in the formulations for its anti-odor properties.

Methyl undecylenate is used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of organo-modified silicones for hair care preparations and sun care products.

Uses :

• As a precursor for undecylenic derivatives for cosmetics and personal cares
• As an intermediate in the synthesis of aromatic chemicals.
• Used as a starting material for derivatives used for their anti-fungal.
• Properties in personal care and pharma formulations
• Methyl Undecylenate is a raw-material for many important perfumery chemicals.
• Methyl Undecylenate is also used in metal working fluids and lubricants.
• Methyl Undecylenate can also be a raw material for several derivatives used in the personal care industry for its anti- fungal properties and detergency.Methyl undecylenate is used in the manufacture of synthetic insect pheromones.

Heptanoic Acid is a fatty acid and is widely distributed in  nature as a component of animal and vegetable fats.

Heptanoic Acid is an organic compound composed of seven-carbon chain terminating in a carboxylic  acid. It is an oily liquid with  an unpleasant, rancid odor. It contributes to the odor of some rancid oils.

Applications :

• n-Heptanoic acid is used primarily:
• In the form of esters: industrial lubricants (aviation, refrigeration, etc.),
• Plasticizers for laminated glass, tracer for butter etc.
• In the form of salts: for aqueous anticorrosion.
• As raw material for perfume, medicine and lubricating grease.
• As chemical intermediate in the synthesis of emollient agents:
• In personal care: propylene glycol diheptanoate & stearyl heptanoate
• In pharmaceutical gel: neopentylglycol diheptanoate.
• Thanks to its good anti-corrosion properties and its unique performance level at high and low temperatures, the  n-heptanoic acid and its ester is mainly used in refrigeration lubricants, aviation, automobile…
• Its ester derivatives are used in the fragrance and flavor industries as well as cosmetics
• It is used to prepare sodium heptanoate, which is used as a corrosion inhibitor.

 COMMON NAME : n-Heptanal, n-Heptylic aldehyde, Oenanthol, Heptanaldehyde, Aldehyde C-7, Enanthal, Heptyl aldehyde, Enanthaldehyde

N-HEPTALDEHYDE is a colorless, oily liquid with a penetrating fruity odor. Insoluble in water and less dense than water. Hence floats on water. Flash point near 141°F. Used to make perfumes and pharmaceuticals.

Heptanal is found in allspice. Heptanal is found in essential oils of ylang-ylang, clary sage, California orange, bitter orange and others. Heptanal is a flavouring agent Heptanalor heptanaldehyde is an alkyl aldehyde with a strong fruity odor which is used as an ingredient in cosmetics, perfumes, and flavors. It can be obtained from castor oil by distillation under reduced pressure. Industrially, it is used in the manufacture of 1-heptanol and ethyl heptanoate

This is mainly used in perfumery in the form of its compound, like Jasmine aldehyde (alphaamyl cinnamic aldehyde) and coconut aldehyde. It is also used in the preparation of Heptyl Alcohol, Heptanoic Acid etc… Which have subsequent usages in various industries.It is a colorless liquid with a penetrating odour.

Methyl Ricinoleate ( C19H36O3) : CAS no. 141-24-2

COMMON NAME : Methyl Ricinoleate, Ricinoleic acid methyl ester

It is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular, this carbon center should be saturated, having single bonds to three other atoms.

1. Methyl Ester of Castor Oil is used in place of Castor Oil in the production of hydraulic fluids.
2. Methyl Ricinoleate is found to be of use in ethyl  cellulose, nitrile rubber, nitrous and polyvinyl butyral lacquers.
3. Methyl Ricinoleate ( methyl ester of ricinoleic acid, ricinoleic acid methyl ester is used in several lubricating formulations, cutting oils and gear oils, motor fuels, cylinder lubricants etc
