Description of Isododecane
Isododecane (CAS NO: 31807-55-3) is a clear, colorless, and virtually odorless branched chain alkane with a chemical formula of C12H26. Characterized by its extraordinarily low viscosity (1 cP at 25°C) and controlled evaporation rate, this high-purity volatile hydrocarbon solvent serves as an exceptional silicone fluid substitute, particularly replacing volatile cyclosiloxanes like D5 in personal care applications.
It is completely insoluble in water yet exhibits outstanding solvency and compatibility with silicone fluids, synthetic esters, mineral oils, and organic UV filters. Its low surface tension allows it to spread effortlessly across skin and hair surfaces without leaving a tacky, greasy, or heavy residue, delivering a weightless, silky, and velvet-matte finish.
Application Fields
Color Cosmetics & Long-wear Makeup:
Serves as a primary volatile carrier solvent in waterproof mascaras, transfer-resistant lipsticks, liquid foundations, and eyeliners. It enhances pigment dispersion and enables fast-drying film formation.
Skincare & Sun Care Formulations:
Acts as a lightweight emollient solvent in oil-free creams, serums, and high-SPF sunscreens to reduce greasy heaviness, improve spreadability, and protect skin hydration.
Hair Care & Styling Products:
Functions as a conditioning agent and carrier in hair oils, leave-in treatments, and setting sprays, imparting gloss, combability, and slip without weighing down hair fibers.
Facial Cleansers & Makeup Removers:
Utilized as an effective oil-phase solvent to dissolve stubborn waterproof formulations while maintaining a refreshing, non-comedogenic feel.
Industrial & Specialty Formulations:
Applied as an advanced specialty chemical solvent in fine industrial coatings, precision cleaning, and specialty specialty chemical synthesis requiring low surface tension and clean residue-free evaporation.

Isododecane 's supply advantage and supply capability
Manufacturing Technology & Quality Excellence
As a dedicated chemical manufacturer and direct global exporter, our facility utilizes modern hydro-isomerization and fractionation technology to synthesize high-purity Isododecane. By keeping strictly controlled distillation columns and low-aromatic catalytic hydrogenation, we consistently deliver product purity exceeding 99.0%, with aromatic content controlled under 10 ppm and sulfur content below 1 ppm.
Every batch undergoes rigorous QC testing via Gas Chromatography (GC),Karl Fischer moisture analysis, and color index verification (APHA < 5). Our process stability eliminates lot-to-lot color or odor variations, giving R&D formulators complete confidence when scaling up batch production.
Production Capacity & Inventory Reliability
Annual Supply Capability: Our continuous distillation lines maintain a dedicated annual production capacity of over 12,000 Metric Tons of cosmetic-grade alkanes.
Stock & Lead Times: We maintain a permanent rolling warehouse inventory of 300+ Metric Tons of ready-to-ship stock at primary port hubs. Standard sample requests ship within 24–48 hours, while full container loads (FCL) ship within 7 to 10 business days.
Flexible Packaging Options: Available in 1kg sample bottles, 25kg HDPE drums, 150kg steel drums, and 750kg–800kg IBC totes to match both small pilot runs and large-scale industrial manufacturing requirements.
The packaging of Isododecane
We will use different standard packaging according to the product form.
● Liquid product: packaged in blue plastic drums, with a standard specification of 200 kg/drum; 220kg/barrel/250kg/barrel, tightly sealed barrel mouth, leak proof, resistant to bumps, suitable for long-distance transportation.
● Powdered products: packaged in thick cardboard drums, with a standard net weight of 25 kilograms per drum; 200 kg/barrel; 220kg/barrel/250kg/barrel, the barrel body is sturdy and pressure resistant, while also having good moisture resistance.
● Sample: sealed uniformly in aluminum foil bags with strong sealing abilities, which can prevent moisture and air from entering the bag and cause it to deteriorate.
Packaging can be tailored to meet customer needs, with standard packaging processes that ensure the quality of goods is maintained during storage and transport.

FAQ:
Isododecane provides a closely matched volatility profile, low surface tension, and lightweight sensory feel similar to D5, making it the leading silicone fluid substitute. Unlike cyclic silicones facing regulatory restrictions in certain global markets, Isododecane is a non-cyclic branched chain alkane that offers exceptional pigment wetting, smooth application, and clean evaporation without environmental accumulation risks.
Isododecane is dermatologically tested, non-irritating, and recognized as a non-comedogenic raw material. Because it completely evaporates after application without clogging pores or disrupting natural sebum, it is widely chosen by formulation chemists for acne-prone skin products, lightweight facial serums, and matte oil-control cosmetics.
We provide full regulatory compliance support with every batch of Isododecane CAS 31807-55-3, including a batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA), globally compliant SDS (Safety Data Sheet), REACH registration documents, Technical Data Sheet (TDS), and ISO9001 quality management verification.
Isododecane has a flash point around 45°C–51°C and should be stored in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse away from direct sunlight, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents. When stored properly under ambient conditions (below 30°C), its shelf life is 24 months from the manufacturing date.
