Polyurethane thickener is an oil-soluble rheology modifier that increases viscosity and imparts thixotropy to non-polar systems. Forms a physically crosslinked network via hydrogen bonding, providing efficient thickening (gelation at <1 wt%). Used in lubricating greases, cosmetics, coatings, and adhesives.

Lauroyl chloride (dodecanoyl chloride) is a reactive acyl chloride used as a versatile building block in organic synthesis. It serves as a key intermediate for surfactants, emulsifiers, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is also employed for the chemical modification of nanocellulose, chitosan, and collagen. CAS 112-16-3.

Ethylenediamine dihydroiodide (EDDI) is a water-soluble organic iodine source (~80% iodine) for animal feed, pet food, and salt blocks. Prevents iodine deficiency, supports thyroid function, and helps prevent foot rot in cattle. Used in chemical synthesis and coordination chemistry. CAS 5700-49-2.

Copper(II) formate is a blue-green crystalline salt of copper and formic acid. Used as a catalyst precursor, for low-temperature copper coating deposition, and in organic synthesis. Soluble in water. CAS 544-19-4.

Pyroglutamic acid (5-oxo-L-proline, PCA) is a natural cyclic amino acid derivative. A key component of skin's Natural Moisturizing Factor (NMF), it provides excellent hydration and humectant properties. Used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biochemical research. CAS 98-79-3.

Potassium cocoate is the potassium salt of coconut fatty acids. A natural anionic surfactant with excellent foaming and cleansing properties. Mild and biodegradable. Used in soaps, shampoos, shower gels, liquid hand soaps, and eco-friendly cleaners. CAS 61789-30-8.

Tranylcypromine hemisulfate is a nonselective, irreversible monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) used for treatment-resistant major depressive disorder. It increases brain levels of norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin. Also inhibits LSD1. CAS 13492-01-8.

Methyl methacrylate crosspolymer is a crosslinked copolymer for cosmetics. Acts as a film-former, matting agent, texturizer, and oil-absorber. Provides soft-focus, smooth application, and sebum control in sunscreens, primers, creams, and color cosmetics. CAS 25777-71-3.

Phosphorus oxychloride (POCl₃) is a colorless fuming liquid used as a chlorinating and phosphorylating agent in organic synthesis. Key intermediate for phosphate esters, flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Hydrolyzes violently with water releasing HCl. CAS 10025-87-3.

Fasoracetam is a research nootropic of the racetam family. Modulates mGlu receptors, upregulates GABA-B, and enhances cholinergic transmission. Investigated for ADHD and cognitive disorders. CAS 110958-10-5.
