  • Applications

    Octyldodecyl Oleate (CAS 22801-45-2) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used as an emollient in cosmetics and personal-care formulations, providing slip and a soft, conditioning feel while serving as a carrier for fragrance components and other actives. It is often employed as a fragrance carrier in perfumery to aid dissolution and slow-release of volatile scent ingredients in leave-on products. In polymer and coating applications, it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve texture, spreadability, and compatibility with other components. In topical pharmaceutical formulations, it serves as a solvent/emollient vehicle for active ingredients in creams and ointments. In industrial lubricants and specialty fluids, it may act as a base oil or ester lubricant, offering low volatility and good lubricity.
