  • Applications

    Octyldodecyl Erucate (CAS 88103-59-7) is commonly used as an emollient and lightweight carrier oil in cosmetics and personal care, providing slip and a pleasant skin feel while helping to solubilize and transmit active ingredients and fragrances. In perfumery, it can act as a fragrance solvent and carrier, aiding the delivery of aromatic compounds in formulations. The ester can function as a plasticizer or processing aid in polymers and coatings, contributing flexibility and improved processing characteristics. It is also employed in some household, cleaning, and industrial formulations as a gentle solvent or slip agent, helping formulation stability and texture without introducing strong odors.
