Parchem – fine & specialty chemicals is a global supplier of specialty chemicals and high-quality raw materials to our partners in all divisions of chemical industry. As a multifaceted supplier, Parchem supplies a wide range of different Methyl Esters suited for use in a variety of industrial, commercial, and laboratory applications.

Methyl esters are oleochemicals that are typically derived from vegetable feedstocks and animal fats. Additionally, they are also known as fatty acid methyl esters because in laboratories, they are typically produced by the esterification of fatty acids or the transesterification of fats with methanol.

Most commonly, methyl esters are used as a component in the production of biodiesel fuels, which is a renewable, alternative fuel source that has been gaining popularity in recent years. In addition to alternative fuels, methyl esters are also widely used to produce fatty alcohols. These fatty alcohols are then used in a wide variety of different applications including nutrition and food additives, cosmetics, polymer production, and the manufacture of oil additives. 

Parchem’s commitment to quality is underscored by our strategic alliances with the world’s top manufacturers of raw ingredients for the food, personal care, and industrial chemical markets.  As a global leader in specialty chemical supply, Parchem’s commitment to quality at every level is unmatched.
