1,3-Propanediol dicaprylate

1,3-Propanediol dicaprylate (CAS 56519-71-2), also marketed as DUB ZENOAT, is a diester of 1,3-propanediol and caprylic acid used as an emollient, carrier, and solvent across personal care and industrial formulations.

It delivers lightweight skin feel and strong solvency for active ingredients, pigments, and functional additives. In cosmetic formulations, it functions as an emollient and carrier oil in skin creams and serums.

This material provides a non-greasy skin feel while improving spreadability in color cosmetics. Formulators use it to dissolve UV filters, lipophilic actives, and fragrance components in leave-on and rinse-off products.

In lubricant and metalworking applications, its ester structure supports film formation and lubricity in light-duty formulations. It is highly valued for its stability and performance in diverse chemical environments.

Coatings and adhesive manufacturers incorporate it as a plasticizer and coalescing solvent to improve flexibility and film integrity. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for modern industrial manufacturing.

1,3-Propanediol dicaprylate 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 end markets.

Packaging typically ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers, depending on volume requirements. Our supply chain ensures consistent quality and availability for large-scale production needs across the globe.
