Description

Octadecanoic Acid 2-[(Z)-1-Octadecenyloxy]Ethyl Ester is a high-purity oleyl stearate derivative, a key chemical intermediate prized for its excellent emollient and lubricating properties. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a stable, non-greasy ester with high oxidative stability for premium applications. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries for creating high-performance formulations.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a superior emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a base or excipient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations for its smooth texture and spreadability.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a synthetic lubricant component and mold release agent in plastics and rubber processing.
• Industrial Additives: Functions as a plasticizer, viscosity modifier, and anti-static agent in various polymer and coating systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softening and lubricating agent for fibers and yarns.

Quality Control

Our Octadecanoic Acid 2-[(Z)-1-Octadecenyloxy]Ethyl Ester is manufactured 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 for high-purity applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and compliance are available upon request.

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 light-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, heat, or light should be avoided to maintain product integrity. For long-term storage, consider an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket).
