Description

Oleyl Erucate is a high-purity, unsaturated fatty acid ester derived from oleyl alcohol and erucic acid. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent emollient properties, oxidative stability, and ability to enhance the spreadability and texture of formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-performance lubricant industries seeking superior skin feel and product performance.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners, serums, and hair oils to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a non-greasy carrier and penetration enhancer in ointments, gels, and transdermal delivery systems.
• High-Performance Lubricants: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants requiring low pour point and good thermal stability.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Imparts flexibility and low-temperature properties to certain polymers and elastomers.
• Industrial Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Used as a component in the synthesis of specialty surfactants for various industrial applications.

Quality Control

Our Oleyl Erucate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key parameters including assay, acid value, peroxide value, and specific gravity. Our quality commitment aligns with cGMP principles where applicable, ensuring a reliable supply for demanding applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
