  • Applications

    Glyceryl Adipate (CAS 26699-71-8) is commonly used as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal-care formulations, where it also serves as a mild solvent and carrier for active ingredients and fragrance oils. It is employed as a plasticizer in polymer and coating systems, improving flexibility and processability for materials such as PVC, polyurethane resins, and related coatings. In coatings and inks, it acts as a flow modifier and plasticizer to enhance film formation and film properties. In perfumery and fragrance applications, it may function as a solvent carrier for fragrance components and as a formulation base. Additionally, in pharmaceutical topical formulations, it can act as an inert excipient/emollient, supporting texture and spreadability, subject to regulatory limits.
