METHYL TRANS-9-HEXADECENOATE - Introduction
Methyl palmitoleate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula C19H36O2. It is synthesized by the reaction of palm oil fatty acid and methanol. Methyl palmitoleate is a colorless and transparent liquid with low viscosity and low boiling point at room temperature.
Palm methyl ester is widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, metallurgy, coatings, plastics, food industry and other fields. It can be used as a lubricant, plasticizer and solvent, and is also used in emulsifiers, surfactants and flavors. In addition, methyl palm antioleate is also used in the preparation of synthetic resins, coatings and paints, and as an adjuvant for pesticides in agriculture.
The preparation method of methyl palm antioleate is obtained by reacting palm oil fatty acid with methanol in the presence of a catalyst. This reaction is usually carried out under heating and stirring, and sulfuric acid or sodium hydroxide can be used as a catalyst.
When using methyl palmitate, you need to pay attention to some safety matters. It is a flammable substance and should avoid exposure to open flames and high temperatures. During storage and use, it is necessary to maintain a well-ventilated environment and avoid inhaling gases or vapors. In case of contact with skin, eyes or in the entrance of clothing, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. In addition, it is necessary to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles and work clothes.
