Butyl oleate

Butyl oleate (CAS 142-77-8) is an ester of oleic acid and butanol used across industrial and personal care markets as a plasticizer, lubricant, and solvent carrier.

Its low volatility and good solvency make it a functional alternative to mineral oil-based carriers in formulation work. In coatings and adhesives, it acts as a plasticizer to improve flexibility.

It helps reduce brittleness in films and sealant formulations. Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into emollient systems, where it functions as a skin-conditioning carrier for actives and pigments.

Textile and leather processors use it as a softening and lubricating agent during fiber treatment and finishing operations. In metalworking, it serves as a base fluid or additive component.

It is frequently utilized in cutting oils and rust-preventive formulations. The material is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available.

Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with purity levels typically at 97% or above. Cosmetic-grade material meeting relevant purity and color specifications is available for personal care.
