  • Applications

    Arachidyl glycol isostearate (CAS 172399-14-3) is primarily used as an emollient, emulsifier, and lubricant aid in cosmetics and personal care, helping improve skin feel and the thickness of creams and lotions. It is also employed as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in household and cleaning products to optimize dispersion and stabilize formulations. In polymers and plastics, it can serve as a lubricant or processing aid to enhance flow and workability of resin systems. In coatings and inks, it functions as a slip/softening additive to improve spread and handling. It is also used as an auxiliary component in adhesives to increase flexibility and processing ease. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
