Application

Ethylhexyl Palmitate (OP) is a long chain fatty acid monoester that can be used as a Group IV Base fluid for and as a lubricity additive for metalworking fluids. Due to its polar nature, EHO works by adhering to metal surfaces and providing a friction barrier. It is well suited for environmentally friendly metalworking fluids due to its biodegradability and low toxicity profile. In personal care applications, OP finds use as a naturally based emollient.
