Ethyl Oleate is obtained by condensation of oleic acid with ethanol. It is practically insoluble in water and soluble in many organic solvents, such as methylene chloride and petroleum ether (40-60°C). It is miscible with alcohol (96%). It is a non-aqueous, low viscosity and inert solvent, with no pharmacological activity and no adverse effect on the action of medications. It presents excellent stability over a wide temperature range and under normal conditions of pharmaceutical use.
Ethyl Oleate is widely applied as a solvent in pharmaceutical drug preparations. As it is quickly absorbed by the body's tissues, it promotes skin penetration. It is used by the pet care cosmetic industry as a moisturizer and can also be used as plasticizer and lubricant.
