Isosorbide dicaprylate

Isosorbide dicaprylate (CAS 64896-70-4) is a diester of isosorbide and caprylic acid used as an emollient, plasticizer, and emulsifier across personal care and industrial formulations.

Its low viscosity and skin-compatible profile make it a practical alternative to silicone oils and conventional ester emollients in cosmetic systems. In personal care, it functions as a lightweight emollient.

It acts as a spreading agent in skin creams, sunscreens, and color cosmetics, improving texture without greasiness. Formulators also use it as an emulsifier and dispersant in oil-in-water systems.

These systems require stable, aesthetically elegant emulsions. In plastics and polymer processing, it acts as a bio-based plasticizer, offering formulators a renewable-sourced option for flexible PVC.

It is also utilized in other polymer matrices. Coatings and adhesive manufacturers incorporate it to improve substrate wetting and film flexibility, ensuring high performance in industrial applications.

Isosorbide dicaprylate is supplied as a clear, pale liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and industrial buyers.

Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on order volume. This versatile chemical provides a sustainable solution for modern manufacturing and formulation needs.
