  • Applications

    Propylene Glycol Dicaprate (CAS 53824-77-4) is an ester commonly used as an emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care, providing a soft, smooth feel and improving spreadability on skin and hair. It also serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrances, essential oils, and active ingredients in perfumery and skincare formulations, helping dissolve and evenly distribute components. In industry, it is used as a plasticizer for polymer systems, as well as a solvent or carrier in coatings, inks, and adhesives. It is used in cleaning and household products as a mild solvent that aids dispersion and formulation of detergents and cleaners. In topical pharmaceutical formulations, it can serve as an excipient or solvent for active ingredients.
