Methyldodecyl laurate

Methyldodecyl laurate (CAS 94134-83-5), also marketed as isotridecyl laurate, is a branched-chain fatty acid ester used as an emollient, lubricant, and dispersing agent across personal care and industrial formulations.

Its branched structure resists crystallization, keeping formulations fluid and spreadable at low temperatures. In skin and hair care, it functions as a lightweight emollient and carrier in lotions, serums, and conditioning treatments.

This ester delivers a non-greasy skin feel without occlusive heaviness. Formulators in color cosmetics use it to disperse pigments evenly in foundations and lip products, improving texture and payoff.

In lubricant and metalworking applications, it acts as a base fluid or additive where a biodegradable, low-viscosity ester is preferred over mineral oil. It provides excellent stability in various environments.

Coatings and adhesive manufacturers incorporate it as a plasticizing component or processing aid to improve substrate wetting and film flexibility. This versatility makes it a staple in modern chemical manufacturing.

Methyldodecyl laurate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to suit personal care and industrial end uses respectively.
