Description

Octyl (Z)-Docos-13-Enoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from erucic acid. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its unique lipid properties and oleochemical behavior. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the lubricants, cosmetics, and polymer plasticizers industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a high-performance base oil or additive, providing excellent lubricity, thermal stability, and low-temperature fluidity for synthetic lubricants and industrial greases.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and lipsticks for its smooth texture and moisturizing properties.
• Polymer Industry: Functions as a bio-based plasticizer or processing aid for resins and elastomers, improving flexibility and workability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key synthetic intermediate for producing surfactants, emulsifiers, and other specialty esters.
• Coatings & Inks: Employed as a flow modifier and leveling agent to enhance the application properties and finish of coatings and printing inks.
• Research & Development: Used in laboratories as a reference standard or building block for developing new materials and studying lipid chemistry.
