Application

Isopropyl Palmitate (IPP) is a long chain fatty acid monoester that can be used as a Group IV Base fluid for and as a lubricity additive for metalworking fluids. It is soluble in castor oil and can be mixed with other oils. IPP resist hydrolysis well and so it is especially useful for water-based metalworking fluids. Its biodegradability and low toxicity profile makes it well suited for environmentally friendly lubricants.
