Isopropyl laurate is a fatty acid ester obtained by formal condensation of lauric acid with isopropanol. It has low toxicity to the human body, so it is used as a lubricant in lamination processing and food packaging production. It also has a lower boiling point than common industrial lubricants and can be removed at low temperatures. It also acts as a solvent: As a long-chain ester, it can replace other non-biodegradable short- and medium-chain esters. It has good solubility, high boiling point, good flow and gloss, and replaces many toxic and persistent industrial solvents in the environment for ink production.

The EU Regulation for Deforestation-Free Products Deforestation and forest degradation are the main causes of global warming and the loss of biodiversity. According to FAO estimates, 420 million hectares of forest were cleared between 1990 and 2020. This corresponds to an area larger than the European Union. The expansion of agricultural land for the production […]Learn More
