Description

2-Ethylhexyl Isononanoate is a high-purity, synthetic ester widely valued for its excellent emollient properties and low viscosity. This compound matters for formulators seeking a non-greasy, fast-spreading skin feel and superior oxidative stability in demanding applications. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and lubricant industries for products ranging from sunscreens and lotions to specialty synthetic oils.

Application

• Primary emollient and skin-conditioning agent in sun care products, moisturizers, and color cosmetics.
• Carrier oil and solvent for active ingredients and fragrances in personal care formulations.
• Plasticizer and lubricity additive in the production of specialty synthetic lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Component in high-performance industrial lubricants requiring low pour point and good thermal stability.
• Used as a pigment wetting and grinding aid in cosmetic and industrial coating applications.
• Base fluid for formulating low-viscosity, non-greasy massage oils and bath oils.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexyl Isononanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters 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 room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation to maintain optimal quality.
