Description

Oleyl Arachidate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from oleyl alcohol and arachidic acid. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, prized for its ability to modify surface properties and enhance performance in demanding formulations. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and polymer industries seeking to improve texture, stability, and processing characteristics.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an effective emollient, thickener, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, and lipsticks, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Functions as a synthetic ester base oil or additive, contributing to excellent lubricity, thermal stability, and low-temperature performance.
• Polymer & Plastic Additive: Used as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid in PVC, polyolefins, and engineering plastics to improve flow and mold release.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Serves as a softening agent and spin finish component for synthetic fibers, reducing friction and improving handle.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a friction modifier and extreme pressure (EP) additive in cutting oils and drawing compounds.
• Wax & Polish Production: Imparts hardness, gloss, and water repellency to industrial and automotive wax blends and polishes.

Quality Control

Our Oleyl Arachidate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise specifications and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and stability are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 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 and extend shelf life. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
