  • Applications

    Lutein diacetate (CAS 20584-56-9) is a lipophilic lutein ester and is considered a potential pigment/colorant for cosmetic and personal care formulations; it can also be used as a colorant for coatings and printing inks; it may impart a yellow color to plastics and other polymers; it is a potential intermediate in the synthesis of lutein esters for pigment-related manufacturing and related products.
