Description

Isopropyl Oleate is a clear, oily liquid ester formed from isopropyl alcohol and oleic acid. This versatile chemical intermediate and emollient is valued for its excellent solvency, low viscosity, and skin-friendly properties, making it a key component in high-performance formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking reliable, high-purity ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a premium emollient, skin conditioning agent, and carrier oil in lotions, creams, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as a solubilizer and penetration enhancer in topical ointments, transdermal drug delivery systems, and as a lubricant in tablet manufacturing.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive in metalworking fluids, mold release agents for plastics and rubber, and textile lubricants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Employed in the synthesis of other esters, surfactants, and specialty chemicals requiring a lipophilic moiety.
• Plasticizers: Functions as a secondary plasticizer and processing aid in polymer and resin formulations to improve flexibility.
• Printing Inks & Coatings: Utilized as a solvent and flow improver to enhance application properties and final finish.
