  • Applications

    Propylene Glycol Dilaurate (CAS 22788-19-8) is commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, where it helps soften skin and hair and serves as a carrier for fragrance and colorants; as a nonionic ester it can act as a surfactant/emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water systems and to aid formulation performance in emulsions; in household cleaning products it functions as a mild surfactant and solvent, assisting wetting, spreading and cleaning action; in industrial manufacturing it serves as a processing aid and lubricant and can act as a plasticizer or compatibility agent in certain polymer and coating formulations; in perfumery and fragrance applications it may be used as a fragrance solvent or carrier to dilute and dissolve aroma materials.
