Description

Ethylhexyl ethylhexanoate (CAS 7425-14-1 ) is a branched-chain ester used as an emollient, carrier solvent, and plasticizer across personal care and industrial formulations. Its low viscosity and strong compatibility with oils and actives make it a practical base fluid for formulators working across multiple end markets and diverse chemical systems. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as a skin-conditioning emollient and carrier in serums, sunscreens, and color cosmetics, delivering a lightweight, non-greasy skin feel. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a plasticizing solvent to improve flexibility and film formation in specialty resin systems and high-performance industrial coatings. In lubricant and metalworking applications, it serves as a synthetic base fluid or co-solvent where low volatility and good lubricity are required for mechanical performance. It also acts as a dispersing medium for pigments and active ingredients in formulations where water-free processing is preferred to maintain stability and product shelf life. Ethylhexyl ethylhexanoate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities. Cosmetic-grade material is the most commonly traded specification for global buyers. Technical-grade is available for industrial coatings and lubricant applications. Purity levels of 99% and above are standard for personal care supply chains and high-end manufacturing.
