Gamma-Caprolactone (GCL) For Sale— CAS 695-06-7| UAB An Group Export
Gamma-Caprolactone (GCL) is a high-performance cyclic ester 
solvent and chemical intermediate belonging to the lactone 
family of organic compounds. With a slightly larger ring 
structure than Gamma-Butyrolactone (GBL) and 
Gamma-Valerolactone (GVL), Gamma-Caprolactone exhibits 
unique solubility, reactivity, and biodegradability 
characteristics that make it particularly valuable in 
polymer synthesis, fragrance formulation, pharmaceutical 
manufacturing, and specialty chemical production.

UAB An Group Export supplies industrial-grade 
Gamma-Caprolactone to verified buyers worldwide with 
full documentation, secure packaging, and reliable 
international delivery.

Primary Industrial Applications

Gamma-Caprolactone is a highly versatile compound 
with established and emerging applications across 
multiple industrial and research sectors:

1. Polymer and Biodegradable Plastic Synthesis
Gamma-Caprolactone is a key monomer in the synthesis 
of biodegradable polyesters and polycaprolactone (PCL) 
copolymers. Its ring-opening polymerisation under 
controlled conditions produces high-performance 
biodegradable polymer materials widely used in 
biomedical implants, drug delivery systems, tissue 
engineering scaffolds, and eco-friendly packaging 
applications. The resulting polymers offer excellent 
biocompatibility and controlled degradation rates 
making them highly sought after in the medical 
device and green packaging industries.

2. Fragrance and Flavour Industry
Gamma-Caprolactone possesses a mild, sweet, 
creamy-coconut aroma profile that makes it 
a valued ingredient in fragrance and flavour 
formulation. It is used as an aroma chemical 
in perfumery, food flavouring, and cosmetic 
formulations where a subtle lactone character 
is desired in the final fragrance composition.

3. Pharmaceutical Intermediate
GCL serves as an intermediate in the synthesis 
of pharmaceutical compounds and active 
pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). Its 
ring-opening reactivity under controlled 
conditions allows incorporation into complex 
molecular structures used in drug development 
and specialty pharmaceutical manufacturing.

4. Specialty Resin and Coating Formulation
Gamma-Caprolactone is used in the formulation 
of specialty resins, coatings, and adhesive 
systems where its unique solubility and 
reactivity characteristics contribute to 
improved film formation, adhesion, and 
coating performance properties.

5. Agrochemical Applications
GCL is used as a solvent and carrier in 
agrochemical formulations including pesticides 
and herbicides. Its biodegradability and low 
environmental persistence make it an 
environmentally preferable alternative to 
conventional petrochemical solvents in 
precision agriculture applications.

6. Cosmetic and Personal Care Formulation
Gamma-Caprolactone is used in cosmetic 
formulations as a solvent, emollient, and 
fragrance carrier. Its skin compatibility 
and mild aroma profile make it suitable 
for use in lotions, creams, and specialty 
personal care products.

7. Research and Specialty Chemical Synthesis
GCL is used as a building block in advanced 
organic synthesis and materials science 
research, particularly in the development 
of novel biodegradable polymer systems, 
drug delivery platforms, and specialty 
chemical intermediates.
