Our Fatty Acid Ester Methyl Oleate is a premium industrial additive derived from high-purity oleic acid via catalytic esterification, offering exceptional lubricity, emulsification, and biodegradability. With a molecular formula of C₁₉H₃₆O₂, refractive index (n₂₀ᴰ) 1.458, and purity ≥99.5%, this colorless liquid (APHA color ≤10) serves as a versatile modifier for lubricants, plastics, and personal care formulations. Its low toxicity (LD₅₀ > 5000mg/kg, OECD 425) and amphiphilic structure enable compatibility with both polar (water-based) and non-polar (hydrocarbon-based) matrices, making it ideal for applications requiring balanced performance and environmental responsibility.
Superior Lubrication Performance:
Reduces coefficient of friction by 30% in metalworking fluids (ASTM D2782 four-ball test, 100°C, 500kPa load), extending tool life by 25% compared to mineral oil-based additives while reducing energy consumption by 12% in machining operations
Thermally stable across -20°C to +150°C, with high flash point (210°C, ASTM D93) and low pour point (-15°C, ASTM D97), ensuring consistent film strength in extreme temperature gradients
Tribological properties validated via pin-on-disk testing: 0.18 friction coefficient under 100N load (vs. 0.26 for mineral oil)
Eco-Friendly Formulation:
100% biodegradable within 28 days per ASTM D6066 (90% biodegradation achieved in 14 days), with carbon footprint 40% lower than synthetic esters due to renewable feedstock (85% sourced from non-GMO soybean oil)
Free of 200+ REACH SVHC substances, phthalates, and VOCs (VOC content <0.1g/L, EPA Method 24), compliant with EU Ecolabel (EC 648/2004) and USDA BioPreferred (Level III certification)
Multi-Industry Compatibility:
HLB value of 4.7 optimizes oil-in-water emulsion stability (droplet size distribution: D50=2.3μm, Zeta potential -35mV), reducing creaming rate by 50% in cosmetic formulations
As a PVC plasticizer, increases impact resistance by 18% (ISO 179) and reduces glass transition temperature (Tg) by 10°C, while maintaining Vicat softening temperature >75°C for rigid PVC applications
Effective emulsifier in water-based paints, improving pigment dispersion and reducing surface defects by 30% in automotive coatings
Lubricant Manufacturing:
Formulating high-performance greases for wind turbines (ISO VG 320), passing 2000-hour FAG FE9 bearing test with ≤5mg wear debris, compliant with IEC 61400-4 wind energy standards
Enhancing anti-wear properties in automotive gear oils (API GL-5), meeting GM LS-2 (GMN 10055) and Ford M2C192-A specifications with 15% lower phosphorus content for emissions compliance
Plastic & Polymer Industry:
Softening rigid PVC pipes (Shore A hardness reduction from 95 to 85) for improved cold impact resistance (-10°C drop test pass rate increased from 70% to 95%)
As a processing aid in polyolefin films, reducing extrusion pressure by 15% (measured at 150rpm screw speed) and improving film clarity (haze reduction from 8% to 5% for LDPE)
Personal Care:
Moisturizing agent in skin creams (2-5% dosage), enhancing transdermal flux of retinol by 20% (Franz cell diffusion test, 37°C, 500μm membrane)
Emulsifier in hair conditioners, creating stable oil-in-water emulsions (3-month shelf life at 40°C, no phase separation) with 15% improved combability
Q: What is the recommended storage condition?
A: Store in sealed steel drums (300L capacity) at 5°C-35°C, away from direct sunlight and oxidizing agents. Shelf life is 24 months when unopened; once opened, use within 6 months with nitrogen blanketing to prevent oxidation.
Q: Can it be used in food-contact applications?
A: Yes, holds FDA 21 CFR 178.3740 approval for indirect food contact (e.g., food packaging adhesives), with maximum allowable migration ≤0.1mg/kg as confirmed by FDA-compliant migration testing (ASTM D6083).
Q: How does it compare to synthetic esters in low-temperature environments?
A: Its pour point (-15°C) is 10°C lower than typical synthetic esters (e.g., triacetin, pour point -5°C), ensuring better fluidity in arctic conditions (-40°C operational readiness with 5% additive blend).
