  • Applications

    Decyl octanoate (CAS 2306-89-0) is a fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, delivering a light, non-greasy feel in creams and lotions. In perfumery, it serves as a solvent and fragrance carrier and can act as a fixative to extend fragrance release. It is also used in household products and cleaning formulations as a low-toxicity solvent and vehicle for active ingredients and fragrances. In industrial manufacturing and coatings/inks, decyl octanoate may be used as a processing aid and, in some cases, as a plasticizer to improve flow, compatibility, and film formation.
