Description

(Z)-9-Octadecenoic Acid 2-[[(Z)-9-Octadecenyl]Oxy]Ethyl Ester CAS NO 56554-29-1 is a high-purity oleochemical derivative, specifically a diester of oleic acid and oleyl alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent emollient properties and ability to act as a non-ionic surfactant and lubricant in demanding formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking stable, high-performance raw materials.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Serves as a premium emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sun care products.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizer, penetration enhancer, and ointment base in topical drug delivery systems.
• Specialty Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a high-performance lubricant in metalworking fluids, mold release agents for plastics, and fiber lubricants.
• Industrial Surfactants & Emulsifiers: Acts as a non-ionic surfactant and co-emulsifier in industrial cleaning formulations and agricultural adjuvants.
• Plasticizer & Polymer Additive: Imparts flexibility and processability as a secondary plasticizer or internal lubricant in polymer compounds.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softener and lubricant in fiber spinning and fabric finishing to improve handle and reduce friction.

Quality Control

Our (Z)-9-Octadecenoic Acid 2-[[(Z)-9-Octadecenyl]Oxy]Ethyl Ester is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, saponification value, and peroxide value are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 15-25°C. This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve stability and prevent rancidity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
