Soya Methyl Ester (SME)

SOYA Methyl Ester (SME) – A Versatile and Eco -Friendly Solution

Soya Methyl Ester or Methyl Soyate is a methyl ester derived from soybean oil, and is a methyl ester mixture made up of saturated and unsaturated C16 to C18 fatty acids.

SME is a low-cost, readily biodegradable alternative that can replace most of the traditional chlorinated and petroleum solvents. Methyl soyate finds use as a carrier solvent and adjuvant.

SME has a high solvency with a Kauri-butanol (KB) value of around 58 and has low toxicity. In comparison to most commercial solvents, SME is safer to handle and store due to its high flashpoint of approximately 170 degrees Celsius and high boiling point of well over 200 degrees Celsius. In addition, soya methyl ester is not an ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), hazardous air pollutant or volatile organic compound (VOC).

About Natural Ester Oil

Bio-based soy methyl ester solvent without any additives produced from 100% natural whole soybean oil. This grade is single distilled SME is an effective green solvent for agriculture applications including crop protection, pesticides, and adjuvants. SME aids in rain-fastness, provides excellent wetting and spreading, and aids in the penetration for actives onto plants waxy membrane.

SHRIPARTH FR3 fluid has exceptionally high flash/fire points of approximately 330/360 °C – the highest ignition resistance of any high fire point dielectric fluid currently available. It qualifies as a “high-fire-point”, “less-flammable”, “IEC Class K”, and “non-propagating” fluid. SHRIPARTH FR3 fluid is Approved4 by FM Global and Classified5 by Underwriters Laboratories as a Less-Flammable Dielectric Liquid for use in complying with the National Electric Code6 (NEC) and insurance listing requirements7.
SHRIPARTH FR3 fluid is compatible with standard transformer construction materials and components. SHRIPARTH FR3 fluid should be stored, handled, and processed in a similar meticulous manner as transformer mineral oil, see Cargill document S900-20-1, SHRIPARTH FR3 Fluid Storage and Handling Guide for additional information.
