  • Applications

    Ethyl oleate (CAS 111-62-6) is commonly used as a non-polar solvent and carrier oil, serving as a vehicle for lipophilic actives in cosmetic and personal-care products; it also acts as a fragrance solvent/carrier in perfumery; in pharmaceutical formulations it functions as a solvent and carrier for lipid-based delivery systems and topical formulations; it is used as a processing solvent for oil-based coatings and inks; in agriculture it can serve as a carrier or adjuvant for agrochemical formulations; and in some cleaning formulations as a non-polar solvent for oily soils; subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
