Chemical Composition & Hazardous Ingredients
Detailed component analysis, concentration ranges, and hazardous substance identification
Product Type
UVCBGeneral Composition
The substance consists mainly of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids methyl ester (chain length C16-C18, origin: vegetable oils). The substance may contain residuals of glycerol and partial glycerides (total < 3.5%) and traces of methanol (< 0.2 %). To improve the properties the substance may contain additives in small concentrations: Cold flow improvers consisting mainly of oligomers of vinyl acetate and other monomers and oxidation stabilizers containing mainly steric hindered phenols. The single active components do not exceed a concentration of 1000 mg/kg (0.1%) in relation to the whole substance.
