Description

Methyl Tricosanoate is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) characterized by its long, saturated carbon chain. This compound serves as a critical reference standard, intermediate, and functional ingredient in advanced research and specialty manufacturing. It is essential for industries requiring precise chemical standards or specific lipid profiles, such as analytical chemistry, cosmetics, and lubricant formulation.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a certified standard in Gas Chromatography (GC) and Mass Spectrometry (MS) for the identification and quantification of fatty acids and lipids in complex matrices.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredient: Functions as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in high-end creams, lotions, and lipophilic formulations.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluid Additive: Acts as a synthetic base oil or additive to enhance lubricity, reduce friction, and improve the biodegradability of industrial lubricants.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Research: Employed as a biochemical intermediate or model compound in metabolic studies and lipid-based drug delivery system development.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Serves as a monomer or plasticizer precursor in the production of specialized polymers, resins, and coatings.
• Food & Flavor Chemistry: Utilized in trace analysis and research related to food lipids, flavors, and aromas.
