Fine Chemical Intermediate Cosmetic Ingredients Cis-13-Docosenoic Acid CAS 112-86-7 99% Erucic Acid with Best Price

Erucic acid also known as cis-13-Docosenoic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid. It occurs at high concentrations mainly in the seeds of species of the Brassicaceae.

High-erucic acid oils are used either directly as lubricants (e.g. in the manufacture of rubber additives) or in formulations.
They are used as spinning lubricants in the textile, steel, and shipping industries; as cutting, metal-forming, rolling,
fabricating, and drilling oils; and as marine lubes.

Erucic acid can also be oxidatively cleaved to brassylic acid for use in the production of polyesters. The oxidative cleavage of erucic acid can be performed via ozonolysis or by reaction with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of an inorganic oxide catalyst. Erucic acid can be used to prepare useful nitrogen derivatives: behenyl amine is used in a corrosion inhibitor; disubstituted amides are effective plasticizers and erucamide is an excellent slip and antiblocking agent for plastic films.
