PPG-6 Caprylyl ether

PPG-6 Caprylyl Ether (CAS 29117-02-0) is a propylene glycol-based ether used across personal care and industrial formulations as an emollient, solubilizer, and wetting agent.

It bridges oil and water phases in complex formulations while improving spreadability and surface coverage. In personal care, it functions as a skin-conditioning emollient and co-solvent in serums and lotions.

This ingredient helps to solubilize active ingredients and fragrance components without leaving a greasy residue. Coating and adhesive formulators use it to improve substrate wetting and dispersion of pigments.

It is particularly effective on low-energy surfaces for resins. In textile and leather processing, it aids in the uniform penetration of dyes and finishing agents, improving treatment consistency across fiber surfaces.

It also serves as a carrier solvent in sealant and elastomer systems where controlled evaporation is required. This ensures compatibility with polymer matrices during the manufacturing and application processes.

The product is supplied as a clear liquid suitable for direct incorporation into both aqueous and anhydrous formulations. It is available in cosmetic-grade quality meeting personal care industry standards.

Technical-grade options are also available for industrial coating and textile applications. Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC totes depending on the specific volume requirements of the facility.
