Diethylhexylcyclohexane

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.

Q: 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.
