Usage

Description

2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptane is a branched-chain hydrocarbon compound with the molecular formula C11H24. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a low odor and high solvency. Due to its chemical properties, it is commonly used as a solvent and ingredient in various cosmetic and personal care products.

Uses

Used in Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry:
2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptane is used as a solvent and ingredient in the manufacture of personal care products, including cosmetics (mascara, eyeliner, and lip products), make-up removers, face creams, preand aftershaves, sun care products, deodorant sprays, and hair care products. It provides a light, non-oily feel with little residue and enhances the spreadability of products.
Used in Polymerization Reactions:
2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptane, as a mixture of isomers, acts as a reaction medium used for polymerization reactions. Its high solvency and low viscosity make it suitable for this application.
Used in Skin Care Products:
2,2,4,6,6-Pentamethylheptane is also useful as an emollient and solvent in skin care products due to its high spreadability, low viscosity, and density. It is commonly used in anti-aging serums and various cosmetic items like eyeliner, hair care, hair sprays, perfume, conditioners, and lotions.

Hazard

Isododecane is stable under normal conditions of use. Avoid contact with strong oxidizers. Isododecane is flammable in liquid and vapor form. Vapor/gas is heavier than air and may spread along the ground or accumulate in low or confined areas. Heating to decomposition may release carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and other gases/fumes. Avoid heat, open flames, electrostatic discharges and other potential sources of ignition.
