Description

Oleic Acid Lauryl Ester CAS NO 36078-10-1 is a high-purity, non-ionic ester derived from oleic acid and lauryl alcohol, valued for its excellent emollient properties and chemical stability. This versatile chemical intermediate is crucial for formulators seeking to enhance the lubricity, texture, and performance of finished products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries for its superior skin feel and compatibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and sun care products.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in conditioners and hair serums to impart shine, reduce frizz, and improve combability.
• Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a bio-based component in synthetic lubricants, mold release agents, and textile fiber lubricants.
• Plasticizers: Functions as a secondary plasticizer and processing aid in polymer and rubber compounds.
• Industrial Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Employed as a co-emulsifier or lubricity additive in industrial cleaning and metalworking formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Potential use as a penetration enhancer or emollient in topical ointments and creams.
