Erucic Acid | 112-86-7

Description :

Overview of Erucic Acid

Erucic Acid is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid widely used across industrial chemicals, lubricants, surfactants, personal care formulations, plastic additives, and specialty chemical manufacturing. With excellent film-forming, lubricity, emollient, and stability properties, it is an essential ingredient in chemical synthesis, high-performance lubricants, cosmetic formulations, and polymer processing.

Manufacturers frequently blend Erucic Acid with other ChemicalBull products such as Colloidal Silica, Calcium Sulphate Hemihydrate, Ferric Chloride Anhydrous, Boron Trifluoride Diethyl Etherate, and Antimony Sulfide to improve thickening, stability, catalytic performance, and surface activity. 

Applications of Erucic Acid

Lubricants & Industrial Oils

• Used in high-temperature and extreme-pressure lubricants

• Provides exceptional slip, viscosity, and oxidative stability

• Applied in metalworking fluids and machining oils

Surfactants & Chemical Intermediates

• Used to manufacture esters, amides, and surfactant bases

• Essential raw material for producing erucamide and behenamide

• Provides anti-blocking and slip properties in polymer films

Cosmetics & Personal Care

• Used as an emollient in creams and lotions

• Adds smoothness and spreadability to skincare products

• Common in lip care, moisturizers, and specialty cosmetics

Polymer & Plastic Additives

• Helps reduce friction in plastic films

• Improves processing and anti-blocking behavior in PE and PP films

• Widely used in packaging materials and extrusion applications

Agricultural & Specialty Chemicals

• Used in pesticide carriers and agricultural emulsions

• Acts as a fatty acid intermediate in multiple formulations

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight

• Keep the container tightly sealed to avoid contamination

• Use gloves and safety goggles during handling

• Avoid inhalation of fumes during heating

• Check MSDS for toxicity, first-aid, and disposal procedures
