Description

Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C18-Unsatd., Branched And Linear, 2-Ethylhexyl Esters is a synthetic ester derived from a specific blend of C14 to C18 fatty acids, including both saturated and unsaturated, branched and linear chains. This product matters as a high-performance emollient and lubricant, offering excellent oxidative stability and skin feel due to its tailored composition. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking versatile, non-greasy ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a synthetic base oil or additive, offering good lubricity, thermal stability, and low volatility in industrial formulations.
• Plasticizers & Polymer Additives: Used as a secondary plasticizer or processing aid to improve flexibility and workability in various polymer systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatments and leather finishing to enhance handle and durability.
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Employed as a leveling agent and viscosity modifier to improve flow, gloss, and application properties.
