What is Pentadecanoic Acid?

Pentadecanoic Acid is an odd-chain saturated fatty acid, also known as C15:0. Its CAS number is 1002-84-2, formula C15H30O2, and molecular weight 242.40 g/mol.

What quality indicators are included in the Pentadecanoic Acid COA?

The COA includes appearance, assay, loss on drying and total heavy metals. The referenced batch is a white fine powder, with loss on drying <0.1% and total heavy metals <10 ppm.

What is Pentadecanoic Acid used for?

It is positioned for lipid research, analytical reference development and functional ingredient formulation. The final application should be determined by the buyer's regulatory and formulation requirements.

How should Pentadecanoic Acid be handled in a formulation?

Because fatty-acid handling depends on solvent, temperature and dispersion conditions, confirm dissolution or dispersion in the target system before scale-up. Do not infer aqueous solubility from the COA alone.

What packaging is listed for Pentadecanoic Acid?

The referenced COA lists 20 kg/carton packaging. Confirm the current packaging, MOQ and shipping conditions with sales for each order.
