  • Applications

    2-Cyclopentadecen-1-one, 3-methyl- (CAS 22442-01-9) is a macrocyclic ketone used primarily in the fragrance industry as a musk-like odorant and fixative to extend scent in perfumes and personal care products. It is also employed as a fragrance ingredient in household and fabric-care products to impart a distinctive musk note. In coatings and inks, it may be used as a fragrance additive in finishes and printed materials to introduce a musk character. In the plastics and polymer sector, it can be considered as a fragrance modifier for certain packaging and plastic applications to improve odor profile. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
