Glycol dilaurate

Glycol dilaurate (CAS 624-04-4 ), also known as Ethylene Glycol Dilaurate, is a diester of ethylene glycol and lauric acid used across personal care, industrial lubrication, and polymer processing. It functions as an emollient, plasticizer, and lubricant depending on the application context. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emollient and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioning products. This versatile chemical contributes to texture and skin feel in cosmetic applications. Polymer and plastics manufacturers use it as a plasticizer and processing aid to improve flexibility and workability in finished materials. In textile and leather processing, it provides fiber lubrication and softening during wet processing stages. Metalworking fluid formulators incorporate it for its lubricating properties in cutting and forming operations. Ester-based lubrication is often preferred in these industrial settings. Glycol dilaurate is typically supplied as a pale yellow to off-white waxy solid or low-viscosity liquid depending on temperature and grade. Technical and cosmetic grades are the most commonly available, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity standards suitable for personal care formulation. It is generally offered in drum and bulk quantities. These packaging options are suited to industrial and formulation-scale procurement. The material remains a staple for manufacturers seeking reliable performance in both consumer and industrial chemical sectors. Contact us for supply of Glycol dilaurate Request Quote
