Description

Fatty Acids, C6-12, Me Esters CAS NO 67762-39-4 is a defined mixture of methyl esters derived from medium-chain fatty acids (caproic, caprylic, capric, and lauric acids). This product serves as a versatile and high-purity chemical intermediate with excellent solvency and low viscosity. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking consistent raw materials for synthesis, emolliency, or bio-based formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient, solvent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, and hair care products for its light, non-greasy feel.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a base stock or additive in synthetic and bio-based lubricants, offering good lubricity and oxidative stability.
• Plasticizers & Polymer Additives: Employed as a co-monomer or modifier in polymer synthesis to enhance flexibility and processing.
• Flavors & Fragrances: Serves as a starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of specific aroma chemicals.
• Agrochemicals: Used in the formulation of pesticides and herbicides as a solvent or penetration enhancer.
• Cleaning & Degreasing Agents: An effective solvent in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for removing oils and greases.
• Chemical Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing fatty alcohols, amides, and other derivatives through transesterification or hydrolysis reactions.
