  • Applications

    Oleuropeic acid (CAS 5027-76-9) is a fatty acid derived from olive oil that is commonly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of esters and derivatives for cosmetics and personal care. It also serves as a building block for polymers and plastics, participating in polyester formation or as an additive in polymer formulations. In coatings and inks, it may be used as a fatty acid–based additive to improve processing properties and adhesion. Additionally, oleuropeic acid can function as a precursor for surfactant- or emulsifier-type derivatives in cleaning formulations and personal care products.
