- IPO
Isopropyl oleate is sold in Malaysia to personal-care formulators and industrial buyers. Also known as isopropyl octadecenoate and the isopropyl ester of oleic acid, this unsaturated fatty ester is identified by CAS 112-11-8 and formula C21H40O2.
The ester is a clear to pale yellow oily liquid with a low, mild odour. It is available in cosmetic and technical market grades for personal-care, lubricant and processing duties. Buyers commonly identify the required grade by ester content, acid value, iodine value, colour and odour.
In personal care it acts as a light emollient and spreading ester, keeping creams, lotions, sunscreens and colour cosmetics soft without a greasy finish. Industry uses it as a lubricity additive, carrier and mould-release aid. It is not the same as isopropyl myristate or isopropyl palmitate, and should be ordered by the exact ester name.

Common questions about isopropyl oleate
What is isopropyl oleate used for?
It is an emollient ester used in personal care for a soft, non-greasy feel, and in industrial work as a lubricity additive and carrier. Cosmetic-grade material serves creams, lotions and colour cosmetics.
Is isopropyl oleate the same as isopropyl myristate?
No. Both are isopropyl fatty esters, but isopropyl oleate is the ester of oleic acid with a longer unsaturated chain. Request the exact ester named in your formulation rather than substituting another.
Which grade should I request?
Cosmetic-grade material is normal for skin-care work where colour and odour matter, while a technical grade suits lubricant, carrier and industrial duty. Give your intended application and target specification.
How is isopropyl oleate supplied?
It is a liquid, so drums, IBCs and preferred pack formats are agreed at quotation. Confirm the pack and volume requirements with your enquiry.
What details are needed for a price enquiry?
Provide the grade, application, quantity, preferred pack format and delivery location. Isopropyl oleate is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
