  • Applications

    Nonyl stearate is a long-chain fatty ester widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and solvent carrier for fragrance and other ingredients in creams, lotions, and lip products. In perfumery, it serves as a solvent for fragrance oils and can act as a fixative to help extend scent life. In coatings and inks, it functions as a plasticizer and processing aid, improving flexibility and compatibility in waxes, varnishes, and related formulations. In polymer and plastics processing, it is used as a processing aid or plasticizer to provide lubrication and compatibility with hydrocarbon-based matrices.
