CAS 3634-92-2
:Propyl stearate
Description:
Propyl stearate, with the CAS number 3634-92-2, is an ester derived from the reaction of propanol and stearic acid. It is characterized by its oily, colorless to pale yellow liquid form, which is typically odorless or has a mild fatty scent. This compound is known for its emollient properties, making it a common ingredient in cosmetic and personal care formulations, where it serves as a skin-conditioning agent and solvent. Propyl stearate is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which is typical for long-chain fatty acid esters. Its stability under normal conditions allows it to be used in various applications, including food additives and lubricants. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity, making it suitable for use in products that come into contact with skin. Overall, propyl stearate is valued for its functional properties in enhancing texture and moisture retention in formulations.
