Methyl oleate

Methyl oleate (CAS 112-62-9 ) is the methyl ester of oleic acid, produced by esterification of oleic acid with methanol. It functions as a lubricant base, emulsifier, and carrier across food, personal care, and industrial applications. Buyers source it as a bio-based alternative to petroleum-derived esters in formulation and process chemistry. In metalworking and industrial lubrication, it serves as a base fluid and additive in cutting oils and rolling fluids. It is used in biodegradable lubricant formulations where low toxicity and good lubricity are procurement priorities. Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin creams, hair conditioners, and color cosmetics. It acts as an emollient carrier and emulsifier that supports even active distribution across formulations. Food-grade material is used as a flavoring agent and processing aid in fat-based food systems. It also functions as a reactive intermediate and solvent in the production of surfactants, fatty acid derivatives, and oleochemical synthesis. The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. Standard commercial grades include technical, food-grade, and high-purity variants meeting FCC or USP specifications depending on the intended application. This ensures compliance for sensitive uses. Bulk supply is available in drums and ISO tank quantities, with purity levels typically ranging from 70% to 99%+ depending on grade. This versatility makes it a staple in modern chemical manufacturing and supply. Contact us for supply of Methyl oleate Request Quote
