Product Introduction: Methyl Cocoate (CAS 61788-59-8)

Basic Information

• CAS No.: 61788-59-8
• English Name: Methyl Cocoate (IUPAC: Fatty Acids, Coco, Methyl Esters)
• Common Names: Coconut Oil Methyl Ester, Coco Methyl Ester
• Molecular Formula: C??H??O? (average; mixture of C?-C?? fatty acid methyl esters, predominantly C??-C??)
• Chemical Class: Natural Ester, Vegetable Oil Derivative

Product Overview

Methyl Cocoate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid derived from the transesterification of coconut oil with methanol. It is a naturally sourced, biodegradable ester mixture composed primarily of medium-chain fatty acid methyl esters (MCFAMEs), including lauric acid methyl ester (C??), myristic acid methyl ester (C??), and caprylic/capric acid methyl esters (C?/C??). With low toxicity, excellent solubility, and environmental compatibility, it has emerged as a preferred green alternative to petroleum-based solvents and surfactants in global markets.

Key Technical Specifications

Core Advantages

1. Natural & Biodegradable: Derived from renewable coconut oil, fully biodegradable (complies with OECD 301B standards) and non-toxic to aquatic organisms, aligning with global sustainability trends.
2. Excellent Solubility: Miscible with most organic solvents (alcohols, ethers, hydrocarbons) and compatible with oils, waxes, and polymers; low surface tension enables superior wetting and dispersion.
3. Low Toxicity & Safety: Non-irritating to skin/eyes (GHS Category 0 for irritation), non-flammable under normal conditions, and free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
4. Versatile Functionality: Acts as a solvent, emulsifier, lubricant, and carrier—adapting to diverse industrial and consumer applications.
5. Regulatory Compliance: Meets EU REACH, US EPA TSCA, and FDA (21 CFR §172.860) standards for food-contact materials; suitable for eco-labeled products.

Key Applications

• Solvent/Cosolvent: Used in perfumes, colognes, and body sprays to dissolve fragrances and essential oils; enhances product stability and scent longevity.
• Emollient: Adds moisturization and softness to lotions, creams, and hair conditioners; improves skin barrier function without greasiness.
• Cleaning Formulations: Key ingredient in natural shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps—acts as a mild surfactant and solubilizer for oils/dirt.

• Green Solvent: Replaces petroleum-based solvents (e.g., mineral spirits) in degreasers, metal cleaners, and paint strippers; effective for removing oil, grease, and wax without damaging substrates.
• Low-VOC Cleaner: Used in industrial parts cleaning, textile scouring, and electronic component cleaning—complies with strict VOC regulations (e.g., EU Directive 2004/42/EC).

• Surfactant/Emulsifier: Formulates pesticide emulsifiable concentrates (EC), suspension concentrates (SC), and oil dispersions (OD); improves spray coverage, adhesion, and bioavailability of active ingredients.
• Carrier Oil: Enhances the penetration of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides into plant tissues; reduces runoff and environmental impact.

• Biolubricant Base Stock: Produces environmentally friendly lubricants, cutting fluids, and hydraulic oils—offers excellent thermal stability and anti-wear properties.
• Metal Processing Aid: Used in cold rolling oils, stamping fluids, and rust preventives; provides lubrication and corrosion protection for metal surfaces.

• Plastics & Polymers: Plasticizer and processing aid for biodegradable polymers (e.g., PLA, PHA); improves flexibility and processability.
• Food Industry: FDA-approved food-contact solvent for flavor extraction, edible oil refining, and food-grade cleaning agents.
• Fuel Additive: Component of biodiesel blends (B5-B20) to improve cold flow properties and reduce emissions.

Packaging & Storage

• Packaging Options: 25kg/HDPE drum, 200kg/steel drum (inner PE liner), 1000L IBC tank, or bulk tank truck (15-30 tons).
• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse (≤30℃); keep sealed to avoid moisture absorption and oxidation. Protect from direct sunlight and heat sources.
• Shelf Life: 24 months under proper storage conditions.
