Description

Fatty Acids, Vegetable-Oil, Me Esters CAS NO 68990-52-3 are a versatile class of methyl esters derived from natural vegetable oils, serving as crucial intermediates and base materials in industrial synthesis. This product offers a sustainable and consistent raw material source, prized for its renewable origin and predictable chemical behavior. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricants, biodiesel, and oleochemical industries seeking bio-based alternatives and reliable feedstock for further chemical transformations.

Application

• Biodiesel Production: Acts as a primary component or co-solvent in biodiesel formulations.
• Surfactants & Detergents: Serves as a key raw material for manufacturing methyl ester sulfonates (MES) and other anionic surfactants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as emollients, conditioners, and viscosity modifiers in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a bio-based lubricant additive and a component in synthetic ester-based fluids.
• Plasticizers & Polymers: Employed as intermediates for producing epoxidized and other modified esters used as plasticizers and polymer additives.
• Agrochemicals: Utilized as solvents or carriers in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Flavors & Fragrances: Acts as a starting material for the synthesis of specific aroma chemicals.
• Industrial Cleaning: Used as a solvent or degreasing agent in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
