  • Applications

    May be used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing slip and conditioning properties in skin and hair products. It can serve as a carrier or solvent for fragrance ingredients in perfumery and related products, helping to dissolve and deliver active components. In coatings, inks, and polymer formulations it acts as a plasticizer or processing aid, improving flexibility, texture, and spreadability. It is also employed as a lubricating oil or slip agent in industrial manufacturing and as a component in various formulated blends, contributing to product aesthetics and handling properties. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
