Product Overview
Ethyl Oleate (CAS 111-62-6) is an organic fatty acid ester synthesized from oleic acid and ethanol. It is a pale yellow transparent oily liquid with a mild characteristic odor. This product features excellent solvency, low volatility and good lubricity. Manufactured via advanced esterification and refining process, it owns high purity, low acid value and stable batch quality. Widely used in pharmaceutical excipients, cosmetics, food additives, flavor & fragrance and industrial lubricant fields. For legitimate industrial production, pharmaceutical formulation and scientific research only.
Product Features
- High Purity: Available with GC ≥98.0% / ≥99.0%, strictly controlled acid value, peroxide value and moisture.
- Excellent Solubility: Good dissolving capacity for oils, fats, lipophilic active ingredients and various organic compounds.
- Good Lubricity & Emolliency: Soft texture, widely used as emollient and lubricant in daily chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
- Low Volatility: Stable liquid state at room temperature, not easy to volatilize during processing and application.
- Complete Quality Test: Each batch is tested by gas chromatography, acid value and refractive index; standard COA is provided.
