  • Applications

    Hexyldecyl Laurate (CAS 34362-27-1) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and slip agent in cosmetics and personal care, delivering skin conditioning and a smooth feel in creams, lotions, and hair-care products. It also serves as a fragrance and active carrier in perfumery and cosmetic formulations, aiding the delivery of volatile components with low irritation. In industrial formulations, it can act as a plasticizer or processing aid in polymers and coatings, and as a solvent or lubricating oil in household cleaners and surface-treatment products. It may also be used as a lubricant or slip additive in inks and coatings formulations, depending on the formulation and regulatory constraints.
