  • Applications

    Polyglyceryl-2 Caprate, CAS 156153-06-9, is used primarily as a nonionic surfactant and mild emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, while also serving as an emollient and skin-conditioning component. It is also applied in household and cleaning products as an emulsifier and mild softening agent to aid cleaning performance and product feel. In coatings and inks, it acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer for pigment dispersions, improving wetting and pigment dispersion. In the polymer and plastics sector, it can function as a processing aid, emulsifier and compatibility agent to support mixing and dispersion of formulation components.
