  • Applications

    Dilauryl Citrate (CAS 25637-88-1) is commonly used as a plasticizer for polymers, notably PVC, and as a processing aid in coatings, inks, and film formation. It also serves as an emollient and humectant in cosmetics and personal care products, helping to impart slip and retain moisture. In industrial formulations, it can act as a solvent or carrier for fragrance materials and as a compatible lubricant in polymer processing. It may also function as a stabilizing or compatibilizing component in certain polymer systems.
