Usage

Uses

Glyceryl tri(2-ethylhexanoate) is an organic ester, and its chemical structure is basically the same as that of natural oils, and it has good affinity with the skin. On the other hand, the carbon chain part of the compound molecule is shorter than that of natural oil, and it is a light oil. When used on the skin, it does not feel greasy and has good spreadability. It is an ideal cosmetic oil.

Flammability and Explosibility

Nonflammable

Synthesis

2-ethylhexanoic acid, glycerol, cyclohexane (or xylene), p-toluenesulfonic acid were added to the reactor. Heating, stirring, then refluxing, adding the organic layer under reduced pressure distillation to obtain Glyceryl tri(2-ethylhexanoate).
