  • Applications

    Isoamyl myristate (CAS 62488-24-8) is commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, improving slip and the sensory feel of lotions, creams, and lip products. It serves as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery and cosmetic formulations to help stabilize and extend the aroma. In household and cleaning products, it often functions as a solvent or diluent for detergents and cleaners. In the plastics and coatings sector, isoamyl myristate can act as a plasticizer and formulation aid to improve flexibility and processing of polymer systems. It is also used as a solvent or processing aid in inks, coatings, and adhesives, depending on formulation needs. Additionally, in manufacturing and processing, it may serve as a carrier/diluent in polymer systems subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
