Description

Methyl Oleate CAS NO 112-62-9 is a fatty acid methyl ester derived from oleic acid, serving as a versatile chemical intermediate and solvent. Its excellent solvency, low toxicity, and good biodegradability make it a valuable, sustainable alternative to petroleum-derived solvents in numerous industrial formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant, agrochemical, personal care, and polymer industries seeking high-performance, bio-based raw materials.

Application

• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a base oil or additive in synthetic lubricants, cutting fluids, and drawing compounds, offering excellent lubricity and low volatility.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a non-phytotoxic solvent and carrier for pesticides, herbicides, and adjuvants, enhancing penetration and efficacy.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and solvent in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Production: Serves as a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of polyol esters, surfactants, and bio-based plasticizers.
• Cleaning & Degreasing Agents: An effective, environmentally preferable solvent in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber processing and textile finishing.
• Fuel & Biodiesel Component: Can be used as a component or model compound in biodiesel research and formulation.

Quality Control

Our Methyl Oleate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profile, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee consistency and traceability for your production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its nature as an ester that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation of quality. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
