Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate

Product Introduction

Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate (NPGDH, CAS: 68855-18-5) is a meticulously engineered diester emollient that seamlessly combines the neopentyl glycol backbone with the lightweight properties of high-purity n-heptanoic acid. Serving as a premium domestic drop-in replacement for Inolex LexFeel 7 and a highly efficient alternative to light silicones (D5), NPGDH is specifically formulated for formulators seeking ultimate breathability. The manufacturing process utilizes high-temperature melting and pure liquid-phase circulation technology, completely overcoming the mass transfer limitations inherent in traditional solid raw material processing. Coupled with advanced flash evaporation techniques to precisely remove residual free acids, the final NPGDH product is crystal clear, delivers a feather-light skin feel, and completely eliminates the heavy, greasy sensation of conventional oils. Its solvency for UV absorbers significantly outperforms standard C12-15 alkyl benzoates, making it the preferred technical upgrade for modern sunscreen and lightweight skincare formulations.

Advanced Applications & Formulation Recommendations

As a top-tier dry-feel emollient, NPGDH (CAS: 68855-18-5) delivers exceptional performance in spray sunscreens, antiperspirants, and premium hair care oils. In hair care systems, it instantly tames frizz and imparts a natural, silk-like shine without weighing hair down or causing greasiness. In lightweight summer lotions and cushion BB creams, it significantly reduces the overall greasiness of the formula, providing a fast-absorbing, water-like spreadability upon application. Leveraging its powerful solvency, Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate efficiently enhances the solubility and uniform film-forming of active ingredients and crystalline UV filters, serving as an ideal upgrade for ultra-light, transparent plant-based base oils.

Usage & Handling Guidelines

With an exceptionally broad application range, the dosage can be flexibly adjusted between 1% and 50% depending on formulation requirements. Featuring a low freezing point, it maintains excellent rheological properties at ambient temperatures, making it highly suitable for pumping and automated pipeline metering. It can be incorporated in high concentrations as a core base oil in sensitive skin care lines or clean beauty systems that emphasize rapid absorption and a zero-burden feel. NPGDH exhibits exceptional batch-to-batch consistency, allowing for seamless integration into existing production lines.

Direct Manufacturer & Commercial-Scale Production Capacity

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is not only a standardized manufacturer of Neopentyl Glycol Diheptanoate (NPGDH) but also possesses end-to-end CDMO delivery capabilities, scaling from kilogram-level pilot batches to ton-scale industrial production.
