Description

Ethyl Linoleate is a fatty acid ethyl ester derived from linoleic acid, a key ω-6 essential fatty acid. This high-purity ester is valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and a functional ingredient in advanced formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceutical industries seeking consistent, high-quality raw materials for product development and research.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and serums.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: Used as a carrier oil or an active component in softgel capsules and liquid formulations.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a key starting material or solvent in the synthesis of specialized active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a standard or reagent in lipid metabolism studies and analytical laboratories.
• Lubricants & Functional Fluids: Functions as a bio-based component or additive in specialty lubricants and industrial fluids.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Used as a plasticizer or reactive diluent to modify the properties of polymers and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Linoleate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and research applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its nature as an unsaturated ester that is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal quality.
