  • Applications

    Isodecyl 2-ethylhexanoate (CAS 34962-91-9) is a fatty-ester used as a plasticizer and solvent with wide applicability across polymers, coatings, inks and cosmetics. In polymers and plastics, it provides flexible, processable formulations for PVC and other resins; in coatings and inks, it acts as a processing aid and solvent to improve film formation and resin compatibility; in adhesives, it functions as a plasticizer and processing solvent to enhance compatibility with resin matrices. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as an emollient and solvent for fragrance oils and active ingredients; in perfumery and flavor applications, it serves as a fragrance solvent/carrier to dissolve and transport aroma compounds; in household products, it serves as a vehicle and solvent in cleaners and surface coatings. Formulation-dependent use and regulatory requirements apply.
