  • Applications

    Oleyl linoleate, the ester of oleyl alcohol with linoleic acid (CAS 17673-59-5), is primarily used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care products, imparting a soft, moisturizing feel to the skin. It also commonly serves as a carrier oil or solvent for fragrances and fragrance ingredients, aiding distribution and formulation of scented products. In the polymer and coating industries, oleyl linoleate acts as a plasticizer and processing aid, improving flexibility and film properties of polymer systems and paints. Additionally, it can function as a lubricant or processing aid in industrial manufacturing, supporting mixing and formulation of resin and oil-based systems.
