Ethylphthalyl ethylglycolate (EPEG)  is a key raw material in the construction chemical industry, specifically used in the production of high-performance concrete admixtures, particularly polycarboxylate-based superplasticizers, which enhance concrete properties like workability and strength.

Industrial Uses

1. Polymers & Resins

  • Plasticizers & Flexibility Enhancers : EPEG is utilized to increase the flexibility and softness of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymeric substances. By integrating EPEG, manufacturers can produce products that require enhanced pliability without compromising structural integrity. 
  • Polymer Additive: It is used as a polymer additive to modify the properties of polymers.

2. Flavours & Fragrances

  • Fixative in Perfumes & Fragrances: EPEG is widely used in fine fragrances, deodorants, and colognes as a fixative to enhance longevity and stability of scent compounds.
  • Stabilizer for Essential Oils: Helps in retaining and balancing volatile essential oils in high-end fragrance formulations.
  • Used in Air Fresheners & Scented Candles: Ensures slow evaporation of fragrance oils in air fresheners, incense sticks, and candles, providing a long-lasting aroma.

3. Personal Care

  • Skin conditioner : EPEG has skin conditioning properties, meaning it helps retain moisture in the skin, keeping it hydrated and preventing dryness. EPEG helps enhance the skin's ability to retain moisture. It creates a thin, non-greasy layer on the skin's surface, which prevents water loss and keeps the skin hydrated.

4. Pharmaceuticals

  • Fragrance Fixative in Medicated Ointments & Creams: Used in topical formulations where long-lasting fragrance is desired.
  • Flavouring Agent in Oral Medications: Helps in masking unpleasant medicinal odors in syrups and chewable tablets.

5. Chemical Synthesis

  • Intermediate in Fine Chemical Production: Used in the manufacturing of specialty esters and derivatives.
