Description

Ethyl Laurate CAS NO 106-33-2 is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid ester, specifically the ethyl ester of lauric acid. It serves as a versatile intermediate and solvent with excellent solvency power for a wide range of organic compounds. This high-purity chemical is essential for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries, where it is valued for its mild odor and stability.

Application

• Fragrance and Flavor Ingredient: Used as a solvent and fixative in perfumes and as a flavoring agent in food products for its fruity, waxy notes.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care: Acts as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of more complex active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Lubricant and Plasticizer: Functions as a synthetic lubricant base oil and a plasticizer for polymers to improve flexibility.
• Chemical Synthesis: Employed as a reagent and solvent in organic synthesis, particularly in esterification and transesterification reactions.
• Industrial Cleaners and Degreasers: An effective component in formulations for cleaning and degreasing due to its solvency properties.
