  • Applications

    Dicaprylyl Ether (CAS 629-82-3) is commonly used as a non-polar solvent and carrier in cosmetics and fragrance formulations, serving as a solvent for aroma compounds and active ingredients; it is also used in household cleaning products as a processing solvent or diluent, and in coatings and inks as a diluent; in industrial manufacturing it functions as a non-polar solvent for polymers and resin formulations.
