  • Applications

    Methyl 10-octadecenoate (CAS 13481-95-3) is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester that serves as a non-polar solvent and processing aid in paints, coatings, and inks; it also functions as a plasticizer for plastics (notably PVC) and as a lubricant additive in industrial formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and carrier oil; in perfumery it is used as a solvent for fragrance ingredients. It may also be used as a feedstock or intermediate to synthesize other fatty-ester derivatives and can appear in biodiesel or renewable lubricant formulations, subject to formulation constraints.
