Description

10-Octadecenoicacid,Methy is the methyl ester of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid derivative. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and advanced materials. It is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, lubricants, and polymer industries seeking to modify product properties such as viscosity, stability, and surface activity.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Used as a bio-based component or synthetic lubricant additive to enhance film strength and reduce friction.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a plasticizer or a reactive monomer in the synthesis of alkyd resins, polyesters, and other polymers.
• Surfactant & Detergent Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing methyl oleate sulfonates and other anionic or nonionic surfactants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent, lubricant, and finishing agent for fibers and leather goods.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in organic synthesis for further reactions such as hydrogenation, epoxidation, or amidation to create derivatives.
