Dicaprylyl carbonate

Dicaprylyl carbonate (CAS 1680-31-5 ) is a lightweight ester-based emollient and solvent used primarily in personal care formulations and specialty coating systems. It functions as a carrier, plasticizer, and dispersing medium. This versatile chemical helps formulators achieve specific texture, spreadability, and film-forming targets without relying on silicone or mineral oil-based alternatives. It is highly valued for its performance profile. In skin care and color cosmetics, it delivers a dry, non-greasy skin feel in serums, foundations, and sunscreen formulations. It also aids in the efficient dispersion of UV filters and pigments. Formulators use it as a solvent and carrier for active ingredients in leave-on products where low viscosity and good spreadability are required. It ensures a smooth application and consistent finish. In coatings and adhesive systems, it acts as a plasticizer and reactive diluent, improving flexibility and processing characteristics of polymer-based formulations. This enhances the durability of the final product. It also functions as a coalescent or co-solvent in specialty sealant and elastomer applications where low volatility and compatibility with organic resins are priorities. This makes it ideal for industrial use. Dicaprylyl carbonate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and industrial buyers respectively. Standard packaging includes drums and IBCs, with bulk supply available for high-volume procurement. Our logistics network ensures reliable delivery for all manufacturing and formulation needs.
