About Sunflower Methyl Ester
Sunflower Methyl Ester is a high-quality fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) derived from sunflower oil. With
excellent chemical properties and a sustainable production process, it is widely used as a biodiesel
feedstock, industrial solvent, and chemical intermediate.
Sunflower Methyl Ester is ester of fatty acids derived from Sunflower as the main feedstock. The physical characteristics of Vegetable Methyl Esters are closer to those of fossil diesel fuels than pure vegetable oils, but properties depending on the type of vegetable oil. A mixture of different fatty acid methyl esters is commonly referred to as biodiesel, which is a renewable alternative fuel. Sunflower Methyl Ester has physical properties similar to those of conventional diesel. It is also non-toxic and biodegradable. Some properties of biodiesel are different from those of fossil diesel and for correct low temperature behavior and for slowing down oxidation processes biodiesel requires a different set of additives than fossil diesel. Impurities, such as metals, in Sunflower Methyl Ester must be limited for use as a motor fuel.

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.
