  • Applications

    Linoleyl lactate (CAS number: 198133-45-8) is a fatty ester commonly used as an emollient and nonionic surfactant in cosmetics and personal care, where it acts as an emulsifier, conditioning agent and wetting aid to improve skin and hair feel. In industrial formulations it can serve as a processing aid and lubricant in coatings, inks and polymer systems, aiding spread, film formation and compatibility. It may also function as a plasticizer or softener for certain polymer formulations, and may be encountered in household cleaning products as a mild surfactant/emulsifier. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
