  • Applications

    Ethoxydiglycol behenate (CAS 193087-34-2) is an emollient ester derived from behenic acid and ethoxydiglycol, commonly used in cosmetics and personal care as a conditioning base for creams, lotions, and makeup, and as a solvent or carrier for fragrance oils and active ingredients in fragrance formulations; its wax-like character supports use as a base for solid sticks (lip balms, deodorant sticks) and as a plasticizer or processing aid in polymers, coatings, and adhesives formulations; it may also function as a specialty solvent or processing aid in some cleaning formulations or industrial formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
