68604-39-7 - Introduction
Fatty acids (Fatty acids) are a class of organic compounds whose carbon chains contain carboxyl groups. C8-18 and C18-unsatd. Refers to the range of carbon chain length of fatty acids, C8-18 means that the carbon chain length is from 8 to 18 carbon atoms, and C18-unsatd. The carbon chain length is 18 carbon atoms and contains unsaturated bonds.
These fatty acids can be prepared by reacting fatty acids with methanol to produce their methyl esters (also known as formates). The so-called "distn. residues" refers to the residues produced during the distillation of fatty acid methyl esters.
Fatty acids and their methyl esters have important uses in many applications. These compounds can be used in the food industry, cosmetics, pharmaceutical formulations, surfactants, plastics and paints. They can be used as food additives, skin moisturizers, drug carriers, surfactants and lubricants.
The preparation of fatty acid methyl esters is generally achieved by esterification of fatty acids with methanol in the presence of a catalyst.
Regarding safety information, fatty acid methyl esters are generally safer substances, but like any chemical, they also need to be handled safely during use. The specific safety information needs to refer to the relevant safety data sheet, such as flammability, corrosion, toxicity and other properties, as well as the safety precautions to be taken. In use, follow the correct operating procedures, avoid contact with skin, eyes and other sensitive parts, and ensure that it is used under well-ventilated conditions.
