Overview

About Undecylenic Acid

Undecylenic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid derived from castor oil by pyrolysis of ricinoleic acid, supplied as a colourless to pale yellow liquid. It is best known for its antifungal and antimicrobial activity and is used in pharmaceutical and personal-care formulations, and as an intermediate for specialty esters and flavours. The related salt zinc undecylenate and the aldehyde heptaldehyde are available through the same castor-derived chain.

Zentish Exim sources undecylenic acid from qualified Indian producers, with certificates of analysis and safety data sheets. Grade and specification are reported per batch on request.
