  • Applications

    Ethylhexyl linolate (CAS 45298-00-8) is an ester of linoleic acid with 2-ethylhexanol. In industry it is primarily used as a plasticizer for plastics and polymers (notably PVC) and as an emollient and light solvent in cosmetics and personal care. It is also used as a processing aid and additive for coatings and inks to improve processability and flexibility, and can function as a plasticizer or additive in adhesives and related polymer systems. In household products, it may appear as a solvent or moisturizing ingredient in cleaners and polishes. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
