Description

Erucic Acid CAS NO 112-86-7 is a monounsaturated ω-9 fatty acid derived from natural sources like rapeseed and mustard seed oil. This high-purity fatty acid is valued for its long carbon chain (C22:1) which imparts unique chemical and physical properties, making it a versatile intermediate for industrial synthesis. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the oleochemical, polymer, and personal care industries seeking to produce high-performance lubricants, surfactants, erucamides, and other specialty chemicals.

Application

• Erucamide Production: Primary feedstock for manufacturing erucamide, a crucial slip and anti-blocking agent in polyolefin films.
• High-Temperature Lubricants: Used in the synthesis of esters and dimer acids for premium biodegradable lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Surfactants & Detergents: Serves as a key intermediate for producing behenyl alcohol and other long-chain surfactants used in personal care and cleaning formulations.
• Polymer Additives: Acts as a precursor for plasticizers and other additives that enhance polymer flexibility and processing.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Employed in the manufacture of emulsifiers and emollients for creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for producing pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals.
