Methyl Ricinoleate ( C19H36O3) : CAS no. 141-24-2
COMMON NAME : Methyl Ricinoleate, Ricinoleic acid methyl ester
It is an organic compound in which the hydroxyl functional group (-OH) is bound to a carbon atom. In particular, this carbon center should be saturated, having single bonds to three other atoms.
- Methyl Ester of Castor Oil is used in place of Castor Oil in the production of hydraulic fluids.
- Methyl Ricinoleate is found to be of use in ethyl cellulose, nitrile rubber, nitrous and polyvinyl butyral lacquers.
- Methyl Ricinoleate ( methyl ester of ricinoleic acid, ricinoleic acid methyl ester is used in several lubricating formulations, cutting oils and gear oils, motor fuels, cylinder lubricants etc
- Methyl Ricinoleate ( methyl ester of ricinoleic acid, ricinoleic acid methyl ester )delivers additional benefits of anti- rusting and corrosion.
