Glycidyl Oleate(CAT: R046408) is an ester formed from glycidol and oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid commonly found in vegetable oils. It is used in various industrial applications, including as a surfactant, plasticizer, or emulsifying agent in cosmetics, lubricants, and coatings. Glycidyl esters, such as Glycidyl Oleate, are also found in food packaging materials, though their safety is often evaluated due to concerns about potential health risks from glycidyl compounds. In research and chemical industries, Glycidyl Oleate is explored for its reactivity in polymer synthesis and its potential applications in biocompatible materials.
