  • Applications

    Lauryl PCA, CAS 22794-26-9, is primarily used as a surfactant and co-surfactant in household cleaners and cosmetic products, providing emulsification and solubilization of active ingredients. It can function as an intermediate or solvent in chemical manufacturing and may act as a processing aid or plasticizer in polymers and coatings to improve wetting and flexibility. In cosmetics, it can serve as an emollient or surfactant, helping to stabilize emulsions and enhance spreadability. It may also be evaluated as a formulation aid for inks and paints to improve leveling and formulation stability.
