  • Applications

    Decyl Myristate (CAS 41927-71-3) is widely used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care, delivering a smooth, non-greasy feel. It also functions as a solvent and fragrance carrier in perfumery and cosmetic formulations, helping dissolve and deliver aromas and actives. In polymers, coatings, and inks, it serves as a plasticizer and slip additive to improve processing and film properties. In household products and cleaners, it provides conditioning and flow properties as a lightweight oil.
