DowSyn PTCC is a high molecular weight, branched chain ester. It can a long-lasting, lubricious and emollience skin feel. It is not readily absorbed by the skin and remains at the skin surface where it can exert the maximum emollient effect. The lipid films they form are highly water repellent and act as a protective barrier on the skin to prevent moisture loss. PTCC is widely applied in sun care products. It can be used as an alternative of GTCC.
