  • Applications

    Capryl caprate (CAS 1654-86-0) is a fatty ester used as an oil phase and emollient in cosmetics and personal care; it also functions as a solvent and carrier for fragrances and active ingredients in formulations, serving as a fragrance carrier in perfumery and beauty products; in plastics and coatings it can act as a plasticizer and softening agent; in certain pharmaceutical and cleaning formulations it may be used as an excipient or solvent.
