Product Information

• Name: Dioctyl carbonate
• Synonyms: Dicaprylyl carbonate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Dioctyl carbonate is a pharmaceutical preparation used to treat skin conditions. It is a fatty acid ester of carbonic and carbonyl groups in which the two esters are in the same molecule. Dioctyl carbonate is a reaction product obtained by reacting an inorganic acid, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, with an alcohol containing two hydroxyl groups and one double bond. This reaction may be facilitated by heating. The film-forming polymer may be polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl alcohol, or polyacrylic acid. Dioctyl carbonate has been shown to stimulate colony-stimulating factor production and inhibit the proliferation of human epidermal keratinocytes.
