General description

Oleyl alcohol has been reported as an effective solvent for oil/water-type tacrolimus (FK506) cream formulation, useful for atopic dermatitis treatment. It was reported as diluting agent for Alamine 336. Palm oil esters derived from oleyl alcohol, have potential applications in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries due to the excellent wetting behavior of the esters without the oily feel.

Application

Oleyl alcohol may be employed as solvent during butanol production from corn stover hydrolysates (CSH) with in-situ liquid-liquid extraction.
