CAPRYLYL GLYCOL Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- 1,2-Octanediol
- C8H18O2
CAPRYLYL GLYCOL supplier for personal-care, home-care and speciality-formulation buyers in Malaysia. Also known as 1,2-octanediol, this multifunctional diol is used for emollience, humectancy, wetting and support of a formulation's preservation system.
Personal-care, formulation and high-purity grades are supplied as white to off-white crystalline or waxy solids that melt to a clear liquid. Buyers compare assay, water, colour, odour and melting behaviour against their processing and finished-product needs.
Applications include creams, lotions, cleansers, deodorants, hair-care and make-up, together with selected home-care and industrial cleaning formulations. Caprylyl glycol may also serve as a 1,2-diol intermediate in speciality-chemical synthesis.
Send the required grade, specification, application, physical-form preference, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Packing, available technical documentation, quotation validity and delivery timing are confirmed for the offered material.

Common questions about CAPRYLYL GLYCOL
Is caprylyl glycol the same as 1,2-octanediol?
Yes. Caprylyl glycol is the personal-care and formulation name commonly used for 1,2-octanediol. Both identify the same eight-carbon diol under CAS 1117-86-8.
Is caprylyl glycol a preservative?
Caprylyl glycol is often used as a multifunctional ingredient that supports a formulation's preservation system while also providing emollient, humectant and wetting effects. It should not be assumed to replace the full preservation design without formulation testing.
Is neat caprylyl glycol the same as a preservative blend?
No. This page covers caprylyl glycol as the single 1,2-octanediol identity. Commercial preservative blends may combine it with phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin or other ingredients and require a separate composition specification.
Why can caprylyl glycol arrive as a waxy or crystalline solid?
Its physical form changes with temperature. Caprylyl glycol is commonly a white crystalline or waxy solid under ordinary handling conditions and becomes a clear liquid when warmed, so receiving conditions should be stated.
Which specifications matter for personal-care caprylyl glycol?
Buyers commonly define assay, water, colour, odour, appearance and melting behaviour. Add the formulation type and any impurity or documentation limits needed for product approval.
What details are needed for a CAPRYLYL GLYCOL quotation?
Provide the application grade, specification, physical-form preference, quantity and delivery location. Include packing preferences and required technical documents for confirmation with the quotation.
