  • Applications

    Ethyl erucate (CAS 37910-77-3) is the ethyl ester of erucic acid. In cosmetics and personal care, it is used as an emollient and solvent for other ingredients; in polymers and coatings, it acts as a plasticizer or processing aid; in coating and ink formulations, it serves as a solvent or diluent with suitable viscosity; as an intermediate for the synthesis of erucic acid derivatives; and as a lubricant additive in specialty lubricants for industrial applications.
