Description
Formulation
Common Applications
Storage

Isopropyl Myristate Solution is an ester-based, hydrophobic solvent system suitable for dissolving and carrying nonpolar substances in laboratory and manufacturing workflows. It is used for sample preparation, dilution of lipophilic actives, and as a nonaqueous medium in formulation and process development.

This solution presents as a clear, low-viscosity liquid with characteristic ester odor. It is practically insoluble in water and is miscible with many organic solvents, including lower alcohols and cosmetic or pharmaceutical oils. It spreads readily on surfaces and forms stable mixtures with lipophilic excipients under typical processing conditions.

Common applications include use as a solvent or carrier in topical and transdermal product development, as an emollient component in semisolid and liquid dosage forms, as a dispersing medium for hydrophobic APIs and excipients, and as a processing aid in coating, granulation, and encapsulation studies. It is also employed in partitioning experiments and in cleaning or rinsing steps where a nonpolar ester is required.

Store tightly closed at ambient temperature, protected from excessive heat and direct light. Use glass or compatible plastics, as ester solvents may interact with certain elastomers and extract plasticizers. Follow standard laboratory handling practices and local regulations for flammable organic liquids.

  • Isopropyl Myristate
  • Topical Formulation Solvent and Emollient: Carrier for lipophilic active ingredients in sterile pharmaceutical compounding and dermatology research.

  • Skin Penetration Enhancer: Improves transdermal delivery of APIs in patch and ointment development studies.

  • Two-Phase Culture Overlay: Used as a biocompatible overlay to in situ extract hydrophobic metabolites (e.g., terpenoids) from microbial fermentations such as E. coli cultures.

  • Liquid–Liquid Extraction (LLE): Organic phase for extracting lipophilic analytes during bioanalytical sample preparation.

  • Emulsion and Microencapsulation: Oil phase in O/W emulsions for encapsulating hydrophobic compounds in formulation R&D.

  • Cerumenolytic Research: Vehicle in earwax-dissolution studies and otic formulation development.

  • Lubricant/Wetting Agent in Aseptic Processes: Provides low-friction, nonaqueous lubrication for seals and components compatible with sterile workflows.
