Description and applications: is a type of biodiesel produced from soybean oil. It is created through transesterification. It is a bio-based solvent derived from soybean oil. It's a mixture of saturated and unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters with carbon chain lengths typically ranging from C16 to C18. Key Properties and Benefits: Renewable and biodegradable: Made from soybeans, a renewable resource, and readily breaks down in the environment. Low toxicity: Considered relatively safe to handle and use compared to many traditional solvents. High solvency: Effective at dissolving various substances. Low VOCs: Emits lower Volatile Organic Compound levels than petroleum-based solvents. Cost-effective: Often a more economical option than traditional solvents. Applications: Solvent: Widely used as a replacement for traditional solvents in various industries, including: Coatings Inks Adhesives Cleaning agents Lubricants Biodiesel component: Can be used as a biodiesel blend component.
