  • Applications

    Ethyl ricinoleate (CAS 55066-53-0) is the ethyl ester of ricinoleic acid derived from castor oil. In industrial formulations, it is commonly used as a high-boiling solvent and plasticizer for coatings, inks, and adhesives; as a processing aid and emollient in cosmetics and personal care; as a carrier for fragrances and as a reactive intermediate for the synthesis of other esters and specialty lubricants; and may serve as a mild solvent in cleaning formulations, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
