What is Methyl Palmitate CAS 112-39-0?
Methyl palmitate (CAS 112-39-0), as a multifunctional fatty acid ester, its core value lies in:
Cross-border applications: Spanning the fields of industry (surfactants), energy (biodiesel), daily chemicals (emulsifiers), and medicine (anti-inflammatory agents);
Environmental protection potential: Renewable raw material sources, in line with the trend of bio-based chemical engineering;
Usage suggestions:
For industrial grade, choose ¥12-15/kg (such as Wuhan Jiyesheng). For pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, high-purity products with a purity of ≥99% are preferred.
Pay attention to enzymatic process products to reduce environmental risks.
Methyl Palmitate CAS 112-39-0 Use
1. Industrial chemical engineering
Surfactant: An intermediate for manufacturing emulsifiers, wetting agents, rust inhibitors and plasticizers.
Biodiesel: Transesterification with palm oil generates a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters, which serves as a clean fuel component.
Gas chromatography: The stationary liquid is used for the separation and analysis of organic substances.
2. Food and Cosmetics
Food additives: Antioxidants, delay the oxidation of oils and fats (baked goods, dairy products), limit ≤55 mg/kg.
Cosmetic ingredients: Moisturizers and emulsifiers in creams, creams and conditioners, with an addition amount of 0.1-5%.
3. Medicine and Biology
Anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic: Inhibits the NF-κB pathway, alleviates pulmonary inflammation and liver fibrosis (animal model).
Biopheromone: An insect pheromone component used for agricultural pest control.
Methyl Palmitate CAS 112-39-0 safety
Toxicity: Oral LD₅₀ >5000 mg/kg in rats (actually non-toxic).
Irritation: Skin contact may cause mild irritation. Protective equipment should be worn during operation.
Storage requirements: Keep sealed, away from light, at room temperature and in a dry place, away from oxidants (shelf life: 2 years).
