Description

Isopropyl Myristate is a high-purity, synthetic ester widely valued for its exceptional emollient properties and low viscosity. This versatile chemical serves as a superior solvent and carrier oil, offering excellent skin feel and compatibility with a broad range of ingredients. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking consistent quality and reliable performance.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emollient and solvent in creams, lotions, makeup, sunscreens, and deodorants, providing a non-greasy, silky skin feel.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a penetration enhancer and emollient base in topical ointments, creams, and transdermal drug delivery systems.
• Industrial Lubricants: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants, mold release agents, and textile processing aids.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block in the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
• Plasticizer: Imparts flexibility and softness in certain polymer and resin formulations.
• Carrier Solvent: Effectively carries active ingredients in agricultural and industrial formulations due to its solvating power.
