Description

Propyl Oleate is a clear, oily liquid ester synthesized from oleic acid and propanol. This compound serves as a versatile, non-greasy emollient and lubricant with excellent spreading properties, making it a valuable intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants where skin compatibility and low viscosity are required. Manufacturers seeking a stable, biodegradable ester for enhancing texture and performance will find Propyl Oleate CAS NO 111-59-1 to be a reliable choice.

Application

• Primary emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products (e.g., lotions, creams, sunscreens).
• Plasticizer and lubricant in the production of polymers and synthetic fibers.
• Carrier oil and solvent in pharmaceutical topical formulations and transdermal delivery systems.
• Base fluid and additive in biodegradable lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Textile finishing agent to impart softness and reduce friction in fabrics.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex specialty esters and surfactants.
