SOY METHYL ESTER

CAS NUMBER: 67784-80-9

EC NUMBER: 267-055-2

MOLECULAR FORMULA: C17H34O2

MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 270.5

IUPAC NAME:

Soy Methyl Ester, or Methyl Soyate, is a soy-based derivative produced by transesterification of soy oil esters.
Transesterification is the process of exchanging an organic group of an ester with an organic group of an alcohol; these reactions often involve an acid or base catalyst.
Soy Methyl Ester includes the following properties:

-Low in VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds),
-High flashpoint,
-And Nontoxic

Along with the above properties, Soy Methyl Ester evaporates slowly which is prolongs the solvent action time and reduces the solvent usage.
Furthermore, Soy Methyl Ester has gained more popularity as a carrier solvent alternative for MEK, Toluene, and Xylene in coating products, and as a replacement for MEK and MeCL in adhesives.

Applications:
-Biodiesel additive
-base stock
-lubricants
-solvent
-parts cleaning
-asphalt cleaner
-hair gel
-skin care
-wax
-candles
-land remediation

Soy Methyl Ester or Methyl Soyate is a methyl ester derived from soybean oil, and is a methyl ester mixture made up of saturated and unsaturated C16 to C18 fatty acids.
Soy Methyl Ester is a low-cost, readily biodegradable alternative that can replace most of the traditional chlorinated and petroleum solvents.

Soy Methyl Ester finds use as a carrier solvent and adjuvant.
Soy Methyl Ester has a high solvency with a Kauri-butanol (KB) value of around 58

In comparison to most commercial solvents, Soy Methyl Ester is safer to handle and store due to its high flashpoint of approximately 170 degrees Celsius and high boiling point of well over 200 degrees Celsius.
In addition, Soy Methyl Ester is not an ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), hazardous air pollutant or volatile organic compound (VOC).

Also known as:

-SME
-Methyl Soyate
-Soy Methyl Ester
-Soybean Ester

Soy Methyl Ester provides effective solvency
Soy Methyl Ester is low in volatile organic compounds

Soy Methyl Ester has a high flashpoint, is nontoxic
Soy Methyl Ester is compatible with other organic solvents and most metals, plastics, and elastomers.

Common applications for Soy Methyl Ester are as a lubricity component in diesel fuel for consumers seeking environmentally safe alternatives and as a cost-effective cleaning agent.
Soy Methyl Ester is an efficient solvent for industries such as printing, chemical formulating, and adhesives.

USES:
-Adhesive Removers
-Mold Release Agents
-Asphalt Cleanup
-Oil Spill Cleanup and Biocemediation

Soy Methyl Ester may be a suitable “green” alternative for the replacement of volatile organic solvents in liquid–liquid extractions in selected applications.
One of the early applications for Soy Methyl Ester was in fuels and lubricants.
Numerous lubricant products are being marketed or are in development, including household lubricant sprays, metalworking fluids, form-release agents for asphalt, and concrete and lubricity additives.

The uses for Soy Methyl Ester include printing ink removal, paint stripping, metal de-greasing, oil spill clean-up and resin removal.
Numerous consumer products also are based on Soy Methyl Ester including hand cleaners, body lotions, car waxes and safe household cleaners.

Soy Methyl Ester provides effective solvency is low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), has a high flash point, is nontoxic, and is compatible with other organic solvents and most metals, plastics, and elastomers.
In most applications, Soy Methyl Ester is formulated with co solvents or surfactants to meet specific performance requirements.

Slow evaporation can be an advantage in many applications, such as ink removal and paint stripping, by extending the duration of solvent action and reducing solvent usage.
Blending Soy Methyl Ester with other organic solvents can synergistically enhance the properties of each individual solvent.
Soy Methyl Ester can be used in cosmetics as an emollient which means it makes the hair feel smooth and soft also as skin conditioning agent.

Soy Methyl Ester can be used as an industrial cleaning solvent as a replacement in metal cleaning and precision cleaning applications.
Soy Methyl Ester also works well as a diluent when blended with other Cargill base oils to reduce viscosity.
In preparation of adjuvants, Soy Methyl Ester is an ideal oil phase component.
