Arachidic Acid Methyl Ester

Arachidic Acid Methyl Ester 99%

Methyl Arachidate 99% is a high-purity methyl ester of arachidic acid (Eicosanoic acid). It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder or flakes. The compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents like chloroform, ethyl acetate, and in heated methanol. 
Methyl Arachidate 99% is often used as a reference standard in gas chromatographic analysis of fatty acids, in research, and as a precursor in organic syntheses. It is stable under normal storage at room temperature and considered safe if handled with standard laboratory precautions. Its applications include use in cosmetics (as an emollient), in analytical chemistry, and in studies of wax ester biosynthesis and fatty acid esterification. 

Acme Synthetic Chemicals’ high-purity Methyl Arachidate is tailored for high-specification applications, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance. Our rigorous manufacturing processes and quality controls guarantee that product meets stringent standards, providing a dependable solution for specialized industries without compromising on performance or quality.
