  • Applications

    2-Methoxyethyl myristate, CAS 110-37-2, is a fatty acid ester of myristic acid bearing a methoxyethyl moiety that is typically used as a plasticizer and processing aid in polymers and coatings. It also functions as a solvent or co-solvent in paints, coatings, and ink systems. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it can serve as a fragrance solvent or light fixative. In cosmetics and personal care, it can act as a solvent or emollient, contributing slip and helping formulation. It may be used as an intermediate for chemical syntheses or as a precursor for specialty esters. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
