  • Applications

    Ethylhexyl Pelargonate is primarily used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and a smooth feel in creams and lotions and serving as a solvent for active ingredients and fragrance components; in perfumery it is used as a solvent and carrier for fragrance ingredients, helping to dissolve and deliver scents. It is also applied in coatings and inks as a solvent and sometimes as a plasticizer to improve the properties of paint and ink formulations; in polymers and plastics it serves as a plasticizer and processing aid to increase flexibility and reduce migration. It may also be found in household products as a solvent and emollient in cleaners and detergents, contributing to formulation aesthetics and spread properties.
