Soy Methyl Ester- 5 Gallon Pail

Soy Methyl Ester, also known as Methyl Soyate, is widely used as an industrial cleaning solvent. The EPA has listed methyl soyate on the National Contingency Plan product for oil spills. It is also licensed by the state of California as a shoreline cleaner. Soy Methyl Ester is mainly recommended for non-transportation industrial applications.

Benefits

• Great replacement for regulated industrial cleaning solvents
• Environmentally-preferred nature
• Replacement for petroleum solvents
• Slows drying time in coatings

Applications

• Soy methyl ester may be used in the production of detergents, soaps, textile and rubber additives, along with lubricants.
• Soy methyl ester can be used to clean up and recover spilled petroleum products from shorelines and streams.
• Soy methyl ester may also be used within paint and lacquer thinners by raising their flash points and slowing the drying time.

Additional Product Information

• Weight: 33 lbs
• Additional Sizes: 55 Gallon Drum

Soy Methyl Ester Solvent: High-Performance Cleaning with Environmental Responsibility

Industrial cleaning demands powerful solvents without compromising the environment. Soy methyl ester solvent combines proven cleaning performance with biodegradable, low-hazard chemistry that helps reduce worker exposure and environmental impact. At Ecolink Inc., we supply soy methyl ester solvent as an effective alternative to many petroleum-based solvents used across manufacturing and other industrial applications. Soy methyl ester is EPA-listed for oil spill cleanup and licensed by the State of California as a shoreline cleaner. Customers also frequently ask whether methyl soyate can be used to help rejuvenate roof shingles. While it can be used as a raw material in this type of application, shingles should be thoroughly cleaned beforehand, as soy methyl ester is not a custom-formulated roof cleaning product. Its versatility makes it a valuable solution for a wide range of industrial and specialty cleaning applications.

Methyl Soyate Solvent: Versatile Performance for Coatings, Cleaning & Recovery

Methyl soyate solvent opens new possibilities for industrial chemistry. Also known as soy methyl ester, our methyl soyate solvent is used in applications ranging from paint thinning to petroleum product recovery, all while maintaining readily biodegradable, low-toxicity characteristics. Methyl soyate solvent's high boiling point (>200°C) and elevated flash point (>266°F) make it ideal for coatings applications where slowed drying times improve finishes and reduce defects. Our methyl soyate solvent is soluble in many organic compounds, making it suitable for formulating detergents, soaps, textile additives, rubber processing aids, and precision lubricants. The benefit of methyl soyate solvent is clear: performance meets sustainability. Facilities switching to methyl soyate solvent reduce worker exposure to toxic petroleum solvents while maintaining the cleaning power and technical performance their operations require.
