Caprolactone（Cat No.:L002459）is a cyclic ester (lactone) with the chemical formula C6H10O2, commonly known as ε-caprolactone. It is a colorless liquid with a faint odor and is primarily used as a monomer in the production of polycaprolactone (PCL), a biodegradable polymer widely used in medical, automotive, and packaging industries. Caprolactone is also used in the synthesis of various polyesters, coatings, and adhesives. Its ability to undergo polymerization and the formation of flexible, biodegradable materials makes it valuable in sustainable material science and drug delivery applications.
