  • Applications

    Octadecyl hexanoate (CAS 41927-67-7) is a long-chain fatty acid ester commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products such as creams, lotions, and lip products; it can act as a fragrance fixative or scent carrier in perfumery due to its low volatility and high molecular weight; it is also used as a plasticizer and processing aid in polymers and coatings to impart flexibility and a smooth feel; as an industrial additive it can provide lubricity and slip in lubricants and metalworking fluids; and in coatings and inks it may help adjust gloss and flow properties.
