Description

Myristic Acid Isobutyl Ester is a high-purity fatty acid ester derived from myristic acid, valued for its excellent solvency, low volatility, and favorable skin-feel properties. This versatile chemical intermediate is crucial for formulators seeking a stable, non-greasy emollient and solvent with good spreading characteristics. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries for creating high-performance end products.

Application

• As a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• As a carrier solvent and plasticizer in fragrances, essential oils, and polymer applications.
• As a key ingredient in the synthesis of specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• As a texturizer and gloss enhancer in hair care formulations and color cosmetics.
• As a component in industrial cleaning formulations and solvent blends.
• As a laboratory reagent and chemical intermediate for organic synthesis.
