Description

Soya Oil Methyl Ester CAS NO 67784-80-9 is a fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from soybean oil, serving as a key bio-based chemical intermediate and solvent. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent solvency, biodegradability, and role as a precursor in green chemistry. It is essential for manufacturers in the biodiesel, lubricant, surfactant, and agrochemical industries seeking sustainable and high-performance raw materials.

Application

• Biodiesel Production: Primary component and benchmark fuel for biodiesel (B100).
• Green Solvents & Cleaning Agents: Used in industrial degreasers, parts cleaners, and ink formulations due to its low toxicity and high solvency power.
• Lubricant & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a base stock or additive in environmentally acceptable lubricants and cutting fluids.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: Key raw material for producing methyl ester sulfonates (MES) and other bio-based surfactants.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a carrier solvent or co-formulant in pesticides and herbicides.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Intermediate: Used in the production of epoxy plasticizers and polyol derivatives for polyurethanes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Employed as an emollient and solvent in various cosmetic formulations.

Quality Control

Our Soya Oil Methyl Ester is produced and tested to meet stringent industry specifications, including EN 14214 and ASTM D6751 for biodiesel applications. Every batch is supported by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying key parameters such as ester content, acid value, and moisture. We maintain a robust quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and compliance with relevant global standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flames. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and oxidation.
