Description

2-Butoxyethyl Oleate is a high-purity oleic acid ester derivative, valued for its excellent solvency and plasticizing properties. This non-volatile, oily liquid is a versatile chemical intermediate and functional additive, prized for its compatibility with a wide range of polymers and resins. It serves critical roles in the formulation of high-performance lubricants, plasticizers, and specialty coatings for industrial and manufacturing sectors.

Application

• Plasticizer and Softener: Used as a secondary plasticizer and processing aid in PVC, synthetic rubbers, and other polymer systems to improve flexibility and workability.
• Lubricant and Metalworking Fluid Component: Acts as a lubricity agent and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, drawing compounds, and rust preventatives.
• Coalescing Agent and Solvent: Functions as a slow-evaporating coalescent and solvent in industrial coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations to enhance film formation and flow.
• Textile and Leather Auxiliary: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in textile processing and leather finishing to impart a soft hand and improve processability.
• Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredient: Used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, contributing to a smooth, non-greasy feel.
