Chemical Properties
Isododecane is a clear, colorless, volatile, and odorless liquid. It provides a light, non-oily feel with little residue and excellent solvency. With a viscosity of approximately 1 centipoise, it can be used in applications which include: hair care, sun care, antiperspirants, color cosmetics, mascaras and fragrance products.
Isododecane, mixture of isomer acts as a reaction medium used for polymerization reactions. It 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 also useful in many different cosmetic items like eyeliner, hair care, hair sprays, perfume, conditioners and lotions.
Uses
Isododecane is an excellent solvent and can be used in a variety of cosmetic and personal care ingredients. It has a weightless feel and enhance spreadability of products. It is use as an ingredient in the manufacture of personal care products, including cosmetics (mascara, eyeliner and lip products), make-up removers, face creams, pre- and aftershaves, sun care products, deodorant sprays and hair care products.
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.
