Erucic Acid CAS 112-86-7
Erucic Acid is a colorless needle shaped crystal. Melting point 33.5 ℃, boiling point 381.5 ℃ (decomposition), 358 ℃ (53.3kPa), 265 ℃ (2.0kPa), relative density 0.86 (55 ℃), refractive index 1.4534 (45 ℃), CAS 112-86-7. Highly soluble in ether, soluble in ethanol and methanol, insoluble in water. The rapeseed oil or mustard oil produced from rapeseed, as well as the seeds of several other cruciferous plants, contain a high amount of erucic acid. Some marine animal fats, such as cod liver oil, also contain erucic acid.

1. Industrial sector (high proportion)
Surfactants and detergents: Erucic acid can be processed through hydrogenation, sulfonation, amidation and other reactions to produce erucic acid amide, sulfonated erucic acid soap and other products, which are used as lubricating oil additives (to reduce mechanical friction), plastic lubricants (to improve the fluidity of plastic processing, such as polyethylene and polypropylene), and raw materials for detergents (to enhance decontamination ability and have better biodegradability than petroleum-based surfactants).
Coatings and inks: The long-chain structure of Erucic acid can enhance the flexibility and adhesion of coatings and can be used as raw materials for alkyd resins and epoxy resins. Erucic acid is used to prepare industrial anti-corrosion coatings and printing inks (especially flexible packaging inks, which reduce penetration into films).
Cosmetic raw materials: Erucic acid, as a natural oil component, can be used in products such as face creams, lotions, and lipsticks, playing a role in moisturizing and nourishing the skin. At the same time, it can improve the skin feel of the products (avoiding greasiness), and has relatively low irritation.
Other industrial uses: It is used in the preparation of nylon 1313 (a high-temperature resistant engineering plastic used in electronics and automotive parts), biodiesel (as a raw material for long-chain fatty acids to improve the low-temperature fluidity of diesel).
2. Food industry (Content must be strictly controlled)
The components of traditional edible oil: In unimproved traditional rapeseed oil, erucic acid is one of the main fatty acids. However, due to early research suggesting that "high erucic acid intake may have potential effects on the cardiovascular system", most countries and regions have set upper limits on the erucic acid content of food-grade rapeseed oil (for example, China and the European Union stipulate that the erucic acid content of food-grade rapeseed oil should be ≤2%, that is, "double-low rapeseed oil").
Food additives: Pure erucic acid can be used as a food lubricant (such as for lubricating food processing equipment, which must meet food-grade standards), or as a fat substitute (in small amounts for low-calorie foods, as the human body's digestion and absorption rate of long-chain fatty acids is relatively slow).
3. The fields of medicine and scientific research
Pharmaceutical intermediates: After chemical modification, erucic acid can be synthesized into derivatives such as erucamide and erucate ester, which are used in the production of lipid-lowering drugs (taking advantage of its property of regulating fat metabolism) and topical skin medications (such as ointment bases to promote drug penetration).
Usually packed in 200kg/drum, and also can be do customized package.
