Description

Tetrahydrofurfuryl Oleate is a high-performance, non-toxic ester derived from oleic acid and tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol. This compound serves as an effective, environmentally friendly plasticizer and lubricant, offering excellent solvency and low-temperature properties. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of specialty polymers, coatings, and personal care products where low volatility and good compatibility are required. Industries such as plastics manufacturing, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants rely on its consistent performance and favorable safety profile.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for PVC, polyurethane, and other specialty polymers to improve flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Lubricant base stock and additive in synthetic oils, greases, and metalworking fluids.
• Emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations such as creams, lotions, and lipsticks.
• Solvent and carrier for pigments, dyes, and active ingredients in coatings and ink systems.
• Processing aid and internal lubricant in the production of rubber and elastomeric compounds.
• Additive in adhesive and sealant formulations to enhance wetting and plasticity.
• Component in textile auxiliaries and fiber lubricants.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of other specialty esters and chemical derivatives.
