  • Applications

    Ethyl oleate (CAS 111-62-6) is favored for its safety and biodegradability, so it is widely employed as a solvent and vehicle in intramuscular injections, antibiotic suspensions, vitamin and hormone preparations, as an excipient in microcapsules and liposomes, while serving as an emollient, spreadability enhancer and gloss agent in creams, lipsticks, shampoos, skin- and hair-care products; in the food industry it acts as a flavor carrier, color diluent and texture modifier for baked goods, confectionery and seasonings; in agriculture it is used as an oil carrier for emulsifiable pesticide concentrates and as an extraction solvent for essential oils; in technical fields it functions as a biodegradable lubricant, biodiesel additive, plasticizer for biopolymers, textile lubricant, ink diluent, solvent for enzymatic reactions and organic synthesis, making Ethyl oleate a versatile ingredient across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and specialty chemical applications.
