Description

Methyl 15-Methylheptadecanoate is a high-purity fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derivative, a key building block in advanced organic synthesis. This compound matters for its role as a precise chemical intermediate, enabling the development of specialized lubricants, surfactants, and fine chemicals. It is needed by R&D laboratories, specialty chemical manufacturers, and industries focused on creating performance materials with tailored properties.

Application

• Chemical Intermediate: A crucial precursor in the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including specialty esters and branched-chain derivatives.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Used to develop synthetic lubricants and greases with enhanced thermal stability and low-temperature performance.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Production: Serves as a raw material for manufacturing non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers for industrial and cosmetic applications.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Research: Employed in R&D for creating novel excipients, emollients, and delivery system components.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Modification: Acts as a modifier to impart specific flexibility or compatibility properties in polymer blends and plasticizers.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in gas chromatography (GC) and mass spectrometry (MS) for fatty acid analysis.
