It is used both as a chemical intermediate, in the manufacture of detergents, emulsifiers, surfactants, and lubricants, and as a reference standard in the analysis of fatty acids and biodiesel. Its clean, well-defined ester structure makes it valuable wherever a known, consistent fatty ester is needed for reaction or comparison.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUses in industry and the laboratory:\u003c\/strong\u003e On the industrial side, methyl laurate and related esters serve as feedstocks and performance ingredients in surfactant and personal-care chemistry, contributing to mildness and texture. In the analytical laboratory, it is one of the fatty acid methyl esters, or FAMEs, used to build calibration references and to identify components in chromatographic analysis of oils, fats, and biodiesel, where matching retention against known esters is central to the method.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVerified identity and purity:\u003c\/strong\u003e This TCI product (catalog L0015) is a minimum 98.0% (GC) grade, CAS number 111-82-0, with molecular formula C13H26O2 and molecular weight 214.35. It is a colorless to almost colorless clear liquid, also known as lauric acid methyl ester. For quantitative standards work, users should confirm the grade meets their method's requirements and review the certificate of analysis, since some applications call for a certified analytical grade.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandling and storage:\u003c\/strong\u003e As with any laboratory reagent, the Safety Data Sheet should be reviewed before handling, and suitability confirmed for the intended application. Stored according to the manufacturer's guidance with the container closed when not in use, the ester maintains its quality over its shelf life, providing a dependable intermediate for synthesis and a consistent reference for fatty acid and biodiesel analysis.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eRecommended For\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntermediate for detergents, emulsifiers, and surfactants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReference standard in fatty acid \/ FAME analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganic synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch and industrial use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePurity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Min. 98.0 (GC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500ML\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit:\u003c\/strong\u003e EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular Formula\/Molecular Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e C13H26O2=214.35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCAS No:\u003c\/strong\u003e 111-82-0\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhysical State:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Colorless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMelting Point:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition to Avoid:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRefractive Index:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.43\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific Gravity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.87\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMDL No:\u003c\/strong\u003e MFCD00008966\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSDBS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2808\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMINUM:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePUBCSUB:\u003c\/strong\u003e 87571985\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12352100\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUN No:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHazard Class:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDOT Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePkg Grp:\u003c\/strong\u003e n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTSCA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAvailable Variants\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL0015-25ML — Methyl Laurate, 25 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL0015-500ML — Methyl Laurate, 500 mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe two variants are the same reagent in 25 mL and 500 mL sizes; choose the volume to match your usage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePrimary Industries\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurfactants and detergents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalytical chemistry (FAME standards)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChemical synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResearch laboratories\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandards and Certifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNone specified by source\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"TCI Chemicals","offers":[{"title":"25 mL","offer_id":47263831195797,"sku":"L0015-25ML","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500 mL","offer_id":47756744425621,"sku":"L0015-500ML","price":103.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/2327\/6437\/files\/l0015_d320ce7f-beeb-4828-81b3-92d835a2429a.jpg?v=1776337533","url":"https:\/\/checkout.labproinc.com\/products\/methyl-laurate-tci-l0015","provider":"Lab Pro Inc Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
