  • Applications

    Arachidyl Propionate (CAS 65591-14-2) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and conditioning agent, delivering slip and a smooth feel in skin creams, lotions, and hair-care formulations. Its wax-like, high-melting character also makes it suitable as a thickener and texture enhancer in emulsions and wax-based systems. In industrial manufacturing and plastics, it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid in wax blends and certain polymer formulations, improving flexibility and processing behavior. In coatings and inks, as well as in some household products, it is used as a wax-like additive to enhance gloss, slip, and film-forming properties.
