  • Applications

    Cetyl Myristoleate (CAS 64660-84-0) is a long-chain fatty ester used primarily as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal-care formulations, providing slip and moisturization in creams, lotions, and lip products. In hair-care formulations it serves as a conditioning agent and lubricant to improve feel and manageability. In household products and cleaners it can act as a slip or softening additive to aid spreading and surface feel. In polymers, plastics, and coatings, it is used as a processing aid and lubricant, helping improve lubricity and handling of waxy formulations.
