  • Applications

    Glyceryl Diisostearate (CAS 68958-48-5) is principally used as an emollient and conditioning ester in cosmetics and personal care, providing a soft, glide-enhancing base that helps distribute active ingredients and fragrances in formulations. It is also employed as a solvent or carrier for fragrance components in perfumery and fragrance formulations, aiding fragrance delivery and formulation stability. In the industrial sector, it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid for polymers and coatings, improving texture, flexibility and processing behavior. Additionally, Glyceryl Diisostearate serves as a lubricating or slip additive in household products and cleaners, and may act as an intermediate or processing aid in manufacturing applications.
