  • Applications

    2-Hydroxyethyl ricinoleate (CAS 106-17-2) is the monoester of ricinoleic acid with ethylene glycol. In practice, it is commonly used as a processing aid and plasticizer in polymer and coating systems, helping to modify flexibility and lubricant properties; it can function as a nonionic surfactant/emulsifier and an emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations; it may act as a lubricant or flow-modifying additive in industrial formulations; it can serve as a solvent or diluent in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations; and it is often employed as an intermediate for the synthesis of alkyd resins and other fatty-acid-derived esters.
