Description

Palmitic Acid n-Butyl Ester CAS NO 111-06-8 is a fatty acid ester derived from palmitic acid and n-butanol, serving as a versatile chemical intermediate and functional additive. Its primary value lies in its excellent solvency, lubricity, and ability to modify the physical properties of formulations. This ester is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, lubricants, and polymer industries seeking reliable, high-purity ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive, providing lubricity, corrosion inhibition, and stability.
• Polymer and Plasticizer Production: Used as a co-monomer or plasticizer intermediate to enhance flexibility and processing of polymers.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block or solvent in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Textile and Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and leather finishing.
• Industrial Cleaners and Degreasers: Utilized for its solvency power in specialty cleaning formulations.
