Frequently Asked Questions

What is diethylhexylcyclohexane used for?

Diethylhexylcyclohexane (CAS 100182-46-5) is a branched dialkyl-substituted cyclohexane hydrocarbon. In cosmetic ingredient nomenclature it is classified as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, used as a spreadable non-polar component of cosmetic oil phases. RawSource supplies it in bulk to personal-care formulators.

What is diethylhexylcyclohexane made from?

It is a cyclohexane ring carrying branched ethylhexyl alkyl substituents, formula C16H32 — a fully saturated, non-polar hydrocarbon. This branched aliphatic structure gives it the light, spreadable feel used in oil-phase cosmetic formulations.

Is diethylhexylcyclohexane an oil?

It is a non-polar liquid hydrocarbon that functions as an oil-phase emollient in cosmetic formulations rather than a triglyceride oil. As a branched saturated cyclohexane it provides a light emollient feel and serves as a carrier for the oil phase and oil-soluble actives.

What is the CAS number for diethylhexylcyclohexane?

Diethylhexylcyclohexane's CAS number is 100182-46-5 and molecular formula C16H32. RawSource provides a Certificate of Analysis and SDS with each bulk shipment to confirm grade and specification.

What is the cost of bulk diethylhexylcyclohexane?

Bulk pricing depends on volume, packaging, and freight to your location. RawSource supplies it in drums and totes to personal-care manufacturers; request a bulk quote with your target volume and ship-to for current pricing.
