C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate, also called octanoic acid, is a saturated fatty acid, which is found in the milk of various mammals and is a minor component of coconut oil and palm kernel oil. 
C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate can be used in organic synthesis, perfume manufacturing, medicine, lubricating grease, rubber, and dye. 
Nutritional supplement in health care products.

C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is a colorless, high boiling liquid and with a faint odor. 
The metallic salts of 2-Ethylhexanoic acid are used as driers for odorless paints, inks, varnishes, and enamels. 
Cobalt and manganese are the most important drivers.

C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is an octanoate ester of C12-13 alcohol. 
This non-greasy, hydrophobic ester delivers a uniquely dry emolliency to skin. 
Its unique dry down and satiny after-feel lends its use as a skin conditioner in hand and body as well as facial products. 
Activemol EH-25 demonstrates low toxicological scores on skin and eyes making it safe to use in all types of skin care formulations.

C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is a colorless oily liquid with an odor that is fatty, cheesy, waxy, and like that of goats or other barnyard animals. 
C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is a fatty acid found naturally in various animal fats and oils, and is one of the chemicals that gives the decomposing fleshy seed coat of the ginkgo its characteristic unpleasant odor.
C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is also one of the components of vanilla and cheese. 
The primary use of C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate is in the manufacture of its esters for use as artificial flavors, and in the manufacture of hexyl derivatives, such as hexylphenols.
Salts and esters of C12-C13 Alkyl Octanoate are known as caproates or hexanoates. 
Several progestin medications are caproate esters, such as hydroxyprogesterone caproate and gestonorone caproate.
