  • Applications

    12-Methyltetradecanal (CAS 75853-50-8) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, contributing waxy-to-musky notes and sometimes serving as a fixed component in complex formulations; it can also function as an intermediate for the synthesis of other fragrance materials in industrial manufacturing. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be employed to impart or stabilize a long-lasting scent in products such as creams and lotions; in household products like detergents and cleaners, it can enhance fragrance profiles; in flavor/aroma applications it may be evaluated for long-chain aroma notes; in coatings, inks and adhesives it can act as a fragrance additive to improve olfactory appeal. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
