  • Applications

    2-[2-(2-Tetradecoxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl decanoate (CAS 59599-56-3) is commonly used as a nonionic surfactant and emollient in formulation work. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a conditioning agent and solvent/emollient in creams, lotions, and cleansers, aiding fragrance solubility and skin feel. In perfumery, it can function as a fragrance solubilizer or carrier to improve dispersion of aromatic oils. In household products and cleaners, it acts as a surfactant and co-emulsifier, promoting oil–water compatibility and formulation stability. In industrial manufacturing and coatings, it can serve as a processing aid or plasticizer/flow modifier in polymer systems, helping adjust viscosity and compatibility of additives in coatings, inks, and adhesives. Thus, the compound provides surfactant, emollient, and solvent roles across cosmetics, fragrances, cleaners, and polymer-based formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
