General Description

Isooctadecanoic acid, methyl ester is a chemical compound often used in the manufacture of various products. It is essentially formed by combining isooctadecanoic acid and methanol in an esterification reaction. Isooctadecanoic acid, methyl ester is characterized by its waxy solid form at room temperature and is known to be insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents like ethanol. With its fatty, wax-like characteristic, it is commonly used in the production of lubricants, adhesives, and sealants. The health and safety aspects of this chemical's handling and use should always be considered, as overexposure may lead to irritation of skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
