  • Applications

    2-Cyclohexylethyl formate (CAS 6282-05-9) is an ester of formic acid and 2-cyclohexylethanol, commonly used as an organic synthesis intermediate and processing solvent. In industry, it serves as a solvent or processing aid for coatings, inks, and adhesives; in perfumery and cosmetics, it can function as a fragrance ingredient or scent carrier (and may act as a fixative in some formulations); in household and cleaning formulations, it is used as a solvent or odorant component; in polymer and plastics processing, it may be employed as a processing solvent or plasticizer for certain resin systems; and it is sometimes evaluated as a formulation solvent for various industrial products, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
