  • Applications

    14-Methylhexadecanal (CAS 93815-50-0) is a long-chain aldehyde primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. In perfumery, it serves as an odorant or fragrance intermediate, contributing waxy and lightly musky notes to complex scent formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be used as a fragrance component in products such as moisturizers, cleansers, and other personal care items, subject to regulatory and formulation limits. In household products, it can be employed in scented cleaners and air fresheners to impart a lasting aroma. In industrial manufacturing, it can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance chemicals and related specialty aroma materials. It may also be evaluated for use in coatings and inks as a fragrance additive or building block in long-chain aldehyde chemistry.
