Description

Hexacontanoic Acid Methyl Ester is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from hexacontanoic acid. This compound serves as a critical high-molecular-weight standard, intermediate, and functional additive in advanced material science and specialty chemical synthesis. It is essential for industries requiring precise long-chain carbon structures, such as polymer modification, lubricant formulation, and surface coating technologies. The product is supplied to meet the stringent quality demands of research, development, and industrial-scale manufacturing.

Application

• Chemical Standard and Reference Material: Used as a high-purity standard in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for the calibration and identification of long-chain compounds.
• Polymer Science and Plastic Additives: Acts as a lubricant, slip agent, or internal/external modifier in the production of specialty polymers and plastics to enhance processing and surface properties.
• Lubricant and Grease Formulation: Serves as a synthetic base stock or performance additive in high-temperature and specialty lubricants, contributing to viscosity and stability.
• Surface Coatings and Release Agents: Employed in the formulation of non-stick coatings, mold release agents, and surface treatments where long-chain hydrophobicity is required.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredients: Functions as an emollient, thickener, or texture enhancer in high-end cosmetic formulations, such as creams and lipsticks.
• Research & Development (R&D): A key intermediate in organic synthesis for creating novel surfactants, waxes, and other long-chain derivatives in academic and industrial laboratories.
