Ethylhexyl Oleate (EHO) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 2-Ethylhexyl Oleate
- EHO
Ethylhexyl oleate supplier for cosmetic and industrial ester buyers in Malaysia. Also written 2-ethylhexyl oleate and shortened to EHO, this is the oleate ester of 2-ethylhexanol, a clear pale yellow oily liquid with a soft non-greasy character. Cosmetic formulators use it as an emollient and spreading oil while technical buyers use the same ester chemistry for lubricity.
Commercial grades differ mainly on colour, odour and acid value, with a standard cosmetic grade, an industrial ester grade and a tighter high-purity grade for fragrance-sensitive or specification-critical work. Pack format is confirmed with the quotation.
Typical applications cover skin care, sunscreens, makeup and hair care on the cosmetic side, and metalworking fluids, lubricant blends and textile auxiliaries on the industrial side. It is not ethylhexyl palmitate or another fatty-acid ester, so the exact ester named on the specification should be ordered.
Send the required grade, any specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

Common questions about ethylhexyl oleate
What is ethylhexyl oleate used for?
It is a liquid oleate ester used as an emollient and spreading oil in skin care, sunscreen and makeup, and as an ester oil in metalworking fluids, lubricant blends and textile auxiliaries.
Is 2-ethylhexyl oleate another name for this product?
Yes. Ethylhexyl oleate and 2-ethylhexyl oleate name the same ester, and EHO is the common abbreviation. The ester is formed from oleic acid and 2-ethylhexanol.
Is ethylhexyl oleate the same as ethylhexyl palmitate?
No. Ethylhexyl palmitate is the ester of palmitic acid while ethylhexyl oleate is the ester of oleic acid. They are different products with different fatty-acid chains, so order each by name.
Which forms can be supplied?

How should I request an ethylhexyl oleate price in Malaysia?
