Methyl palmitate, also known as palmitic acid methyl ester, is a chemical compound belonging to the group of fatty acid esters. Methyl Palmitate is a flammable, waxy, white solid that is virtually insoluble in water. Its versatility and compatibility with other materials make it valuable in a variety of industries. Methyl Palmitate is used as a base oil in industrial lubricants and greases. It is used in metalworking fluids (such as cutting oils and coolants) to improve machining processes. it is used as a softening agent for textiles and fabrics. In molding processes, methyl palmitate acts as a release agent. It can be included in paint formulations as a coalescing agent.
