Triisononanoin

Triisononanoin (CAS 56554-53-1), also known commercially as Isodragol, is a synthetic triglyceride ester of isononanoic acid used as an emollient, plasticizer, and lubricant across personal care and industrial formulations.

It delivers skin-feel modification, film formation, and lubricity without the heaviness associated with natural oils. In personal care, it functions as a lightweight emollient and dispersant in skin creams and color cosmetics.

The compound is frequently used in suncare products, improving spreadability and texture without a greasy residue. Industrial lubricant formulators incorporate it as a base fluid or additive where biodegradable ester chemistry is required.

Low volatility and high performance are procurement priorities for these industrial applications. In coatings and adhesive systems, it acts as a plasticizer and softener, improving flexibility and substrate adhesion in finished films.

Sealant and elastomer manufacturers use it to modify hardness and processing behavior in polymer compounding. It is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to volume requirements.

Cosmetic-grade material is available meeting purity standards relevant to personal care applications. Technical-grade supply is standard for lubricant and polymer end uses across various manufacturing sectors.

Buyers should confirm grade specification and ester content with suppliers when qualifying for regulated cosmetic markets. This ensures the material meets the necessary safety and performance criteria for the intended use.
