product description
Methyl Palmitate is a fatty acid ester essential oil that naturally occurs in many plant species. Methyl Palmitate concentration in cells are known to be modulated by methanol. In experimental studies with isolated Kupffer cells, Methyl palmitate exhibited inhibitory activity towards phagocytosis and decreases cell viability.

Product Usage

Methyl palmitate is a fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from natural sources, widely utilized for its emollient, solvent, and lubricating properties. In the cosmetic and personal care industry, it serves as a high-quality emollient and skin-conditioning agent in lotions, creams, and sunscreens, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel. In the detergent and surfactant sector, it acts as a key raw material for producing specialized emulsifiers and cleaning agents. Its role in industrial manufacturing is equally significant, where it is used as a lubricant additive for metalworking fluids and as a plasticizer for various polymers. Furthermore, it has gained attention in biotechnology as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of complex organic molecules and as a reference standard in the study of biodiesel fuels.
