What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

ERUCIC ACID

✅ ERUCIC ACID (CAS 112-86-7) – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Erucic Acid (CAS 112-86-7) is a long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid that occurs naturally in cruciferous plants like rapeseed, and is primarily used in industrial applications. It is a key ingredient in the production of biodiesel due to its high energy content and is also used in the manufacturing of lubricants, cosmetics, and plasticizers. In the pharmaceutical industry, Erucic Acid is used in the production of ointments and creams due to its emollient and skin conditioning properties. Erucic Acid is commonly used as a lubricant in the metalworking industry and is an important component of alkyd resins. This pale yellow liquid or crystalline solid is available in pharmaceutical and industrial grades (IP/BP/USP), ensuring high purity for use in cosmetic formulations, industrial processes, and biodiesel production. We supply Erucic Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, cosmetic producers, and chemical manufacturers globally, ensuring reliable and high-quality supply to USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Chile.
