  • Applications

    Lauryl Lactate (CAS 6283-92-7) is a biobased ester commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care products, where it helps dissolve active ingredients and fragrances and provides favorable texture and skin feel. It is also employed as a solvent and carrier for fragrance materials in perfumery formulations and can function as a mild, skin-compatible solvent in household cleaners. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a biodegradable solvent/processing aid for coatings, inks, and adhesives, contributing to formulation solvency while reducing volatility. In polymer systems, it may be used as a processing aid or plasticizer in select resins, and it is often evaluated to support formulation compatibility and performance in various plastic processing applications.
