  • Applications

    Butyl linoleate is the butyl ester of linoleic acid. In practice it is used as a cosmetic emollient and skin-conditioning agent in personal-care formulations; as a plasticizer or processing aid in coatings, inks, and polymer formulations; as a processing oil or lubricant in polymer and industrial formulations; as a solvent or carrier for fragrance ingredients and other actives in household products and cleaners; and as an intermediate in chemical synthesis and related industrial applications, with use governed by local regulations and formulation limits.
