  • Applications

    Dipropylene glycol caprylate (CAS 220604-16-0) is an ester of dipropylene glycol and caprylic acid that is commonly used as a solvent and emollient in cosmetics and personal care; in perfumery it serves as a fragrance solvent and carrier for active ingredients, and in household cleaning products it acts as a formulation solvent; in coatings and inks it provides a solvent or processing aid to adjust viscosity; in polymers and plastics it can function as a plasticizer and processing aid in certain formulations; in industrial manufacturing it appears as a solvent or carrier for various formulations.
