Myristyl propionate

Myristyl propionate (CAS 6221-95-0), also known as tetradecyl propionate, is a fatty acid ester used across personal care and industrial formulations as an emollient and lubricant.

It delivers a lightweight, non-greasy feel on application, making it a preferred choice where texture and spreadability directly influence product performance in various chemical sectors.

In cosmetics and skincare, it functions as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in lotions, creams, lip products, and color cosmetics, contributing to smooth application and improved skin feel.

Sunscreen and color cosmetic formulators use it to enhance pigment dispersion and adjust the sensory profile of finished products. It is highly valued for its consistent chemical stability.

In lubricant and metalworking formulations, its ester structure provides boundary lubrication and reduces friction in light-duty applications. This makes it a versatile component for industrial use.

Textile and leather processing operations incorporate it as a softening and lubricating agent to improve material handling and surface finish. It ensures high-quality results in manufacturing.

Myristyl propionate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity standards for personal care.

Bulk supply is standard in drums and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). Our logistics network ensures reliable delivery of this essential ester to meet your specific production requirements.
