Erucic Acid #112-86-7
Erucic acid, alternatively referred to as cis‑13‑Docosenoic acid, belongs to the family of monounsaturated omega‑9 fatty acids. Its molecular structure contains one carbon-carbon double bond in cis configuration at the 13-carbon position of the long aliphatic chain, which determines its distinctive physicochemical traits.
This natural fatty acid can be found in relatively high levels within the seeds of various Brassicaceae plants. Typical botanical sources include rapeseed and mustard seed, alongside other cruciferous vegetable seeds such as kale, cabbage and turnip.
It serves as a valuable raw material across multiple industrial sectors, extensively applied in fine chemical synthesis, lubricant production, polymer modification and cosmetic intermediate manufacturing. Our bulk supply is available for industrial customers with stable demand.

Product Introduction of Erucic Acid (CAS:112-86-7)
H2: Product Overview
Erucic acid, CAS No. 112-86-7, is a natural monounsaturated long-chain fatty acid extracted mainly from rapeseed oil and other vegetable oils. It features excellent lubricity, hydrophobicity and chemical reactivity, which can undergo esterification, amidation and other chemical reactions to synthesize a variety of downstream derivatives. Our erucic acid series maintains stable acid value, low impurity content and consistent batch quality, serving global customers in fine chemical, cosmetic, food and biochemical research sectors.
H2: Product Application
H3: Fine Chemical Industry
It is a core raw material for manufacturing high-performance lubricants, synthetic fibers and chemical auxiliaries. Its long carbon chain structure endows good lubricating and film-forming properties. It can be processed into fiber oiling agents to reduce friction during chemical fiber spinning, prevent fiber breakage and static accumulation.
H3: Marine Anti-corrosion Engineering
Erucic acid is widely used in ship anti-corrosion coating formulations. It helps improve the adhesion and water resistance of coating films, effectively slowing down metal corrosion caused by seawater and marine humid environment for hull and underwater facilities.
H3: Cosmetic & Personal Care Industry
As a cosmetic raw material, it improves the texture and spreadability of creams, lotions and hair care products. It can soften skin and hair, enhance the moisturizing effect without excessive greasy feeling, and optimize the sensory experience of finished personal care products.
H3: Food Industry
It can be used as food additives under strict compliance with relevant national limit standards. It is applied in specific food processing scenarios to adjust fatty acid composition, and all food-grade grades meet corresponding food safety specifications.
H3: Biochemical Research
Serves as standard experimental raw material for university laboratories and biotech research institutions. It is used for lipid metabolism research, organic synthesis experiments and preparation of biochemical reference samples.
H3: Personal Protective Equipment
It can be used as an auxiliary raw material in the production of partial personal protective materials, improving the flexibility and surface performance of protective components.
H2: Delivery Schedule
H3: In-stock Goods
Ready stock can be shipped within 2–3 working days after payment confirmation and shipping details verification.
H3: New Production Batch
