  • Applications

    Isopropyl oleate (CAS 112-11-8) is a non-polar ester commonly employed as an emollient in cosmetics and personal care products, providing a smooth skin feel and conditioning properties; it also serves as a carrier solvent for fragrance materials and active ingredients in perfumery and cosmetic formulations. In coatings, inks, and polymer formulations, it functions as a solvent/vehicle that helps control viscosity and processing. It can act as a plasticizer for certain polymers, improving flexibility in plastic and film applications. It is also used as a processing aid in various industrial manufacturing formulations and may serve as a cleaning solvent in some household and industrial cleaning products. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
