Behenic Acid Methyl Ester 99%

Behenic Acid Methyl Ester 99%

Methyl behenate 99% is a high-purity methyl ester of behenic acid (docosanoic 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 behenate 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.
