Description

Erucic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from renewable sources, primarily high-erucic acid rapeseed oil. This compound serves as a versatile and valuable chemical intermediate and functional additive in advanced manufacturing. It is essential for industries requiring long-chain fatty acid derivatives with specific oleochemical properties, such as lubricants, surfactants, and polymer production. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for demanding industrial applications.

Application

• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Formulation: Acts as a high-performance, biodegradable base oil or additive, offering excellent lubricity and thermal stability.
• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of erucic acid-based surfactants (e.g., behenyl derivatives) for personal care and industrial cleaning products.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Production: Serves as a monomer or precursor for bio-based polymers, plasticizers, and coatings, enhancing flexibility and durability.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Employed as an emollient and conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and hair care formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis & Research: A key starting material for producing erucamide, behenic acid, and other long-chain derivatives used in various chemical processes.
• Fuel & Biodiesel Research: Studied as a potential component or model compound in advanced biodiesel and renewable fuel research due to its high cetane number.
