Description

Dipentaerythrityl Hexaheptanoate/Hexacaprylate/Hexacaprate is a high-performance, multi-branched synthetic ester derived from pentaerythritol and a blend of C7 and C8 fatty acids (heptanoic, caprylic, and capric acids). This compound matters as a premium, non-greasy emollient and lubricant, offering excellent oxidative stability, low volatility, and superior skin feel. It is primarily needed by formulators in the cosmetics, personal care, and high-end lubricant industries seeking versatile, high-purity base fluids and conditioning agents.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-spreadability, non-comedogenic emollient in sunscreens, creams, lotions, and color cosmetics.
• Skin Care Products: Provides a silky, dry-touch finish in anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and after-sun products.
• Hair Care Products: Used as a conditioning agent in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products to impart shine and reduce frizz without heaviness.
• Make-up & Color Cosmetics: Serves as a pigment wetting agent and binder in foundations, lipsticks, and mascaras for improved texture and application.
• High-Performance Lubricants: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants requiring high thermal stability and low pour point.
• Plasticizer & Processing Aid: Employed as a secondary plasticizer or lubricant in polymer processing to enhance flexibility and mold release.
