  • Applications

    Dicapryl Adipate (CAS 105-97-5) is widely used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and skin conditioning ester, delivering slip, a light, fast-absorbing feel, and compatibility with lipophilic actives; it also serves as a fragrance solvent and carrier in perfumery formulations. In polymers and coatings, it functions as a plasticizer and processing aid, improving flexibility of plastics and compatibility in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It can act as a solvent or diluent in household products and cleaners, and it is used as a base oil or carrier in industrial manufacturing formulations where a lipophilic, low-volatility ester is desirable. Usage is formulation-driven and subject to local regulations.
