  • Applications

    Propylene Glycol Linoleate (CAS 59104-83-5) is commonly used as an emollient and solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing skin-conditioning properties and acting as a carrier for oils and fragrance ingredients in creams, lotions, and oils. It also serves as a solvent and carrier for fragrance oils in perfumery and can help dissolve and stabilize fragrance components. In industrial sectors, it can function as a plasticizer or co-solvent for coatings, inks, and adhesives, and as a processing solvent for various polymers and binders. Additionally, it may be evaluated as an excipient or solvent in pharmaceutical topical formulations and other cleaning or industrial formulations.
