  • Applications

    Methyl 10-undecenoate (CAS 111-81-9) is a long-chain, unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester that is primarily used as a reactive monomer and processing intermediate in polymer and coating chemistries. Its terminal double bond enables radical polymerization and post-polymer modification, making it suitable for copolymerizing into functional polyesters and for use in UV-curable coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations where crosslinking can be introduced. It can also function as a processing solvent or plasticizer in industrial manufacturing and coating systems, contributing lubricity and hydrophobicity in formulated products. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be used as a fatty-ester emollient or solvent derived from natural fatty acids. Its use is often limited to specified formulations and is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
