Isopropyl Myristate Extra Pure is a high-purity ester derived from isopropyl alcohol and myristic acid, commonly used for its excellent solvent and emollient properties. It appears as a colorless to slightly yellow, oily liquid with a faint odor. In laboratory and cosmetic settings, it serves as a solvent and carrier for active ingredients, particularly in topical formulations, where it enhances skin absorption without leaving a greasy residue. Its purity makes it suitable for precise formulation work in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and personal care research. Isopropyl Myristate is also used in the preparation of perfumes and as a penetration enhancer in transdermal drug delivery systems.

Description

Isopropyl Myristate Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Solvent for Drug Delivery Studies:
    Widely used as a non-polar solvent and penetration enhancer in transdermal drug delivery experiments, especially in formulation labs.

  2. Emollient in Cosmetic Formulation Research:
    Serves as a model emollient in laboratory studies focused on the development of creams, lotions, and topical formulations.

  3. Carrier Compound in Fragrance and Oil Studies:
    Used to dissolve fragrances and essential oils in analytical research related to perfumery and personal care products.

Secondary Uses

  1. Skin Permeation Experiments:
    Commonly used in dermatological and pharmaceutical research to evaluate skin absorption and diffusion rates of active compounds.

  2. Standard in Stability Testing:
    Applied in experiments testing the stability of emulsions and cosmetic formulations under various environmental conditions.

  3. Non-volatile Component in Controlled Release Systems:
    Studied in labs exploring slow-release delivery systems for pharmaceuticals or active ingredients.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

SAFETY MEASURES

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

  • Wear a lab coat, nitrile gloves, and protective goggles.
  • Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood to prevent inhalation of vapors.

Handling:

  • Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
  • Do not inhale vapors or mist.
  • Practice good hygiene—wash hands thoroughly after handling.

Storage:

  • Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place.
  • Keep away from heat sources, open flames, and incompatible materials like strong oxidizers.

FIRST AID MEASURES

Inhalation:

  • Remove the person to fresh air.
  • Get medical attention if symptoms persist.

Skin Contact:

  • Wash with soap and water.
  • Remove contaminated clothing.
  • Seek medical advice if irritation or sensitization occurs.

Eye Contact:

  • Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
  • Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
  • Seek medical attention if irritation persists.

Ingestion:

  • Rinse mouth with water.
  • Do not induce vomiting.
  • Seek immediate medical advice.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
