Description

Isononyl Heptanoate CAS NO 71720-31-5 is a high-purity synthetic ester, valued for its excellent solvency, low volatility, and favorable environmental profile. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, offering superior performance in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the lubricant, plasticizer, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials.

Application

• Synthetic Lubricant Base Stock: Used in the formulation of high-performance lubricants and greases for automotive and industrial applications due to its thermal stability and low pour point.
• Plasticizer and Coalescing Agent: Acts as an efficient plasticizer for polymers and a coalescing aid in latex paints and coatings, improving film formation and flexibility.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in organic synthesis for the production of more complex esters, surfactants, and specialty chemicals.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic formulations, such as creams, lotions, and sunscreens, for its smooth skin feel and low irritation potential.
• Industrial Cleaners & Degreasers: An effective component in solvent blends for cleaning and degreasing metal parts and precision equipment.
• Textile Processing Aid: Functions as a lubricant and softening agent in fiber and textile manufacturing processes.
