  • Applications

    Lauryl Isostearate, CAS 93803-85-1, is commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, delivering a light, non-greasy skin feel and aiding spreadability. It also serves as a slip agent and viscosity modifier in household cleaning and laundry products, helping formulate products that feel smooth and work efficiently. In coatings and inks, Lauryl Isostearate can act as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve flow, leveling, and surface feel. In polymers and plastics applications, it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid to enhance flexibility and facilitate processing. In general industrial manufacturing, it is used as a lightweight lubricant or carrier solvent in formulated systems.
