Product Details

Erucic acid is a docosenoic acid having a cis- double bond at C-13. It is found particularly in brassicas - it is a major component of mustard and rapeseed oils and is produced by broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, and wallflowers. It is a long-chain alcohol that acts as an inhibitor of fatty acid oxidation in the heart.

Product Usage

Erucic acid is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid primarily derived from rapeseed and mustard oils, serving as a critical feedstock for the specialty chemical industry. Its most significant application is in the production of erucamide, a premier slip agent used in plastic film manufacturing to prevent polyolefin layers from sticking. In the lubricant sector, erucic acid and its derivatives are utilized as high-performance additives for greases and metalworking fluids, prized for their excellent oxidative stability and lubrication at high temperatures. Furthermore, it is a key intermediate in the fragrance industry for synthesizing macrocyclic musks and in the cosmetic sector as an emollient in hair and skin care formulations. Its unique 22-carbon structure also makes it a valuable precursor for the synthesis of behenic acid and specialized surfactants.
