Cetearyl ethylhexanoate

Cetearyl ethylhexanoate (CAS 90411-68-0 ), also sold under the component description Cetyl 2-ethylhexanoate, is a synthetic ester of fatty alcohols and 2-ethylhexanoic acid. It is used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. In industrial applications, it functions as a plasticizer, lubricant, and dispersing medium across coatings and specialty formulations. In personal care, it is used in creams, lotions, and color cosmetics to deliver a lightweight feel. This ingredient provides a non-greasy skin feel while improving spreadability and moisture retention. Coatings formulators incorporate it as a plasticizing component to enhance film flexibility and substrate adhesion in specialty systems. In lubricant and metalworking applications, it acts as a base fluid or additive carrier where low volatility is required. It is valued for its good film-forming behavior and stability in various industrial environments. Adhesive and sealant manufacturers use it as a softening agent to modify the rheology and flexibility of elastomeric compounds. This versatility makes it a critical component for high-performance chemical manufacturing. The product is supplied as a clear, pale liquid suitable for direct incorporation into formulations. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of diverse buyers. Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs, with bulk supply available for high-volume industrial procurement. Our material ensures consistent performance across personal care and industrial manufacturing sectors. Contact us for supply of Cetearyl ethylhexanoate Request Quote
