Description

2-Ethylhexyl Oleate is a high-purity oleic acid ester derived from 2-ethylhexanol, valued for its excellent lubricity, low volatility, and good solvency. This non-greasy, clear liquid serves as a versatile emollient and carrier oil, offering superior skin feel and stability in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking a high-performance, bio-based ingredient.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in lotions, creams, sunscreens, and makeup products for a smooth, non-greasy finish.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Used as a secondary plasticizer and lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing to improve flexibility and workability.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in formulating high-performance lubricants, cutting oils, and rust preventatives.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber processing and leather treatment to enhance suppleness.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Serves as a plasticizing agent and viscosity modifier to improve the application properties and durability of formulations.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals for various industrial applications.
