Caprylhydroxamic Acid CAS 7377-03-9 is an organic chelating agent and fungistatic component used in the formulation of preservation systems for personal care and industrial emulsions. Also identified as Octanohydroxamic acid, this industrial ingredient functions by chelating metal ions necessary for microbial growth, providing stability in neutral pH environments where traditional preservatives may lose efficacy. The compound, often abbreviated as CHA, is integrated into the manufacturing of creams, lotions, and surfactant systems to enhance shelf life and formulation integrity. We offer competitive factory pricing and allow for customized specifications to meet precise solubility or purity requirements. Our bulk supply includes full documentation support, such as MSDS, TDS, COA, for verified industrial procurement.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does this material correspond to the standard Caprylhydroxamic Acid used for chelation?
A: Yes, CAS 7377-03-9 refers to the specific hydroxamic acid structure (C8) utilized for its strong iron-chelating properties and fungistatic activity in industrial formulations. -
Q:
What role does Caprylhydroxamic Acid play in cosmetic preservative systems?
A: Caprylhydroxamic Acid is typically used as a chelating and preservation‑support component, where its hydroxamic group helps bind metal ions and support microbial control within cosmetic formulation systems.
