  • Applications

    3-[(2-Ethylhexyl)oxy]-2-hydroxypropyl docosanoate (CAS 66486-85-9) is primarily used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, delivering slip and moisturization for skin and hair. It can function as a lubricating oily component in coatings, inks, and polishes, improving texture, spreadability, and surface appearance. In polymer and plastics processing, it may act as a processing aid and plasticizer-like additive to enhance workability and compatibility of lipid-based ingredients. In industrial and household formulations, it can serve as a nonionic surfactant or co-surfactant, helping stabilize emulsions and contribute to cleaning performance. It may also be employed as a texture modifier or carrier in multi-component formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
