Description

Fatty Acids, Palm-Oil, Me Esters CAS NO 91051-34-2 are a versatile class of methyl esters derived from palm oil fatty acids, serving as a crucial intermediate and functional ingredient in numerous industrial processes. This product offers a consistent, renewable, and cost-effective source of C16 and C18 fatty acid chains for chemical synthesis and formulation. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricants, agrochemical, and oleochemical industries seeking reliable raw materials for surfactants, emulsifiers, and biodiesel production.

Application

• Primary raw material for the production of fatty alcohols via hydrogenation.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of alkanolamides, betaines, and other surfactant actives for personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.
• Used as a bio-based solvent, plasticizer, and carrier fluid in agrochemicals, coatings, and lubricants.
• Acts as a feedstock for biodiesel (FAME) production and other biofuel applications.
• Employed in the manufacture of emulsifiers and texture modifiers for food processing (where specific food-grade compliance is met).
• Serves as a conditioning and emollient agent in hair care and skincare products.
