Solvents from renewable castor oil sources
Bio-based fatty acid methyl esters - Description
Bio-based fatty acid methyl esters are mixtures of C18 fatty acid methyl esters processed from a renewable castor oil source (FAME, VOME). They are suitable for use in various industrial and construction applications such as:
- Concrete mould-release agent
- Bio-based plasticizer in coatings and adhesives
- Sustainable alternative to mineral oils for various industrial applications
- Leather and textile treatment
Benefits:
- Readily biodegradable
- Exhibits low toxicity
- Low viscosity, good oxidation resistance, high boiling point, high lubricity, good anti-wear properties and high flash point
