Usage

Uses

Used in Cosmetic Industry:
2-Ethylhexyl Stearate is used as a cleansing agent for its ability to remove dirt, oil, and makeup from the skin while maintaining the skin's natural moisture balance. Its large oil phase content contributes to its effectiveness as a cream-type cleansing compound.
Additionally, due to its emollient properties, 2-Ethylhexyl Stearate can also be used as a skin conditioning agent in various cosmetic formulations, such as lotions, creams, and moisturizers, to provide a smooth and soft texture to the skin.

Preparation method of low-polarity grease

The invention relates to the fields of fine chemical products, and particularly provides a preparation method of low-polarity grease. The method comprises the following steps: performing contact reaction between acyl chloride and fatty alcohol in the presence of a solvent and an acid binding agent, and performing separation to obtain a grease product. The synthetic method provided by the inventionenables the fatty alcohol and the acyl chloride to be subjected to nucleophilic substitution reaction which does not have reverse reaction (a by-product is hydrochloric acid), the reaction yield of the nucleophilic substitution reaction is generally higher than that of general esterification reaction, the process is simple, reaction conditions are mild, and the final yield is as high as 80%. Themethod provided by the invention can be used for preparing colorless and tasteless products which are easy to store and good in stability.

WAX COMPOSITION OF SARGASSUM FULVELLUM

Sixty-seven compounds were characterized in the wax of Sargassum fulvellum.Characteristic components were the 5-methylhexyl esters of octanoic, decanoic, lauric, myristic, palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic and linolenic, and the 2-ethylhexyl esters of the same acids.The wax of S. fulvellum contains hydrocarbons (1.6percent), esters (21.8percent), free acids (74.9percent) and free alcohols (0.3percent).The principal free alcohols range in chain length only from C6 to C7. - Key Word Index: Sargassum fulvellum; Sargassaceae; Phaeophyta; wax; 5-methylhexyl esters; 2-ethylhexyl esters; 5-methylhexanol; 2-ethylhexanol.
