Description

Isobutyl Oleate is a clear, oily liquid ester derived from oleic acid and isobutyl alcohol. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent solvency, lubricity, and plasticizing properties, making it a key component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the plastics, lubricants, and personal care industries for its ability to enhance product performance and processing characteristics.

Application

• Plasticizer & Lubricant: Used as a secondary plasticizer and internal lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing to improve flexibility and reduce friction.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as a lubricity additive and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting oils and drawing compounds.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a softening agent and lubricant for fibers and yarns to improve handle and reduce breakage.
• Industrial Cleaners & Degreasers: Employed as a co-solvent and penetrating agent in heavy-duty cleaning formulations.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used to modify viscosity and improve the low-temperature flexibility of various adhesive systems.
