Isopropyl myristate is a colorless and odorless liquid that can be mixed with vegetable oil in any proportion to become transparent. It is not easily hydrolyzed and rancid, and is miscible with organic solvents such as alcohol, ether, methylene chloride, and grease. Isopropyl myristate has a wide range of applications, but there are some compatibility issues that need attention!
The incompatibility of isopropyl myristate is as follows:
When isopropyl myristate comes into contact with rubber, the rubber swells, partially dissolves, and the viscosity decreases;
When it comes into contact with plastics (such as nylon and polyethylene) When in contact with ethylene), these materials will swell;
They are incompatible with solid paraffin and form a granular mixture;
It is also not suitable to be compatible with strong oxidants.
