  • Applications

    Oleyl Erucate (CAS 17673-56-2) is a wax ester used primarily as an emollient in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip, conditioning and moisture retention in products such as creams, lotions, hair-care formulations and lip products. In perfumery, it acts as a carrier oil and solvent for fragrance ingredients, aiding solubility and formulation of scented products. In polymers and plastics, it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid for biobased polymers, coatings and wax-like formulations. In coatings and inks, it can serve as a processing aid or lubricating additive to improve application and texture. In household products and cleaners, it may be used as an emollient additive to enhance skin feel and formulation stability.
