  • Applications

    12-Tricosanone (CAS 540-09-0) is a long-chain ketone commonly used in perfumery as an odorant and as a fixative to extend fragrance in cosmetics and related products. It can serve as a fragrance component in cosmetics/personal care and may be present in household products such as cleaners and air fresheners as a scent ingredient. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as an intermediate or solvent in specialty chemical formulations. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
