What is Isodecyl Pelargonate?
Isodecyl Pelargonate is a pelargonic acid ester and a polyhydric alcohol isodecyl solvent with good solvent characteristics and broad application uses. It is used as a solvent and plasticizer intermediate for personal care products, plastics, and coatings. It is most suitable for formulations that require smoothness and stay-put properties because it is non-volatile, has a silky feel, and is non-fatted.
