  • Applications

    Neopentyl Glycol Dilaurate (CAS number: 10525-39-0) acts as a nonionic surfactant and emollient in cosmetics and personal care formulations, improving emulsification, slip, and skin feel in creams, lotions, cleansers, and conditioning products. It is also used in household cleaning formulations as a surfactant and solubilizer to enhance wetting and cleaning performance. In coatings and inks, it can function as a flow modifier and processing aid, aiding leveling and film formation. In polymer and plastics formulations, it may serve as an internal plasticizer or processing additive to adjust rheology and compatibility with lipophilic ingredients. It can also be employed in industrial manufacturing as a processing aid or lubricant where fatty ester linkages are desirable.
