Description

Ethylhexyl myristate (CAS 29806-75-5 ) is a branched-chain ester of myristic acid used as an emollient, carrier, and lubricant across personal care and industrial formulations. Its low viscosity and strong spreading behavior make it a preferred alternative to heavier mineral oil-based ingredients in skin-feel-sensitive applications for modern manufacturing. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning carrier in lotions, sunscreens, color cosmetics, and hair care products, delivering a lightweight finish. Formulators also use it as a solvent and dispersant for pigments and UV filters, improving homogeneity in emulsion systems while maintaining a non-greasy profile for the user. In lubricants and metalworking fluids, it provides boundary lubrication and acts as a base fluid or co-solvent in cutting oils and release agents for industrial machinery. Coatings and adhesive formulations incorporate it as a plasticizing carrier to improve substrate wetting and film flexibility across various technical and commercial applications. Ethylhexyl myristate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Cosmetic-grade material is the predominant commercial specification for global supply. The material conforms to standard purity requirements suitable for personal care manufacturing. Technical-grade material is also available for industrial lubricant and coating applications.
