  • Applications

    2-Ethylhept-2-enal (CAS 10031-88-6) is primarily used in fragrance and aroma applications as an odor-active aldehyde; it is commonly evaluated as a fragrance ingredient or aroma chemical with a distinctive aldehydic note. It may also be used as a flavor ingredient in approved contexts; in cosmetics and personal care formulations it serves as a scent component; in household products it functions as a fragrance additive for cleaners and air fresheners; in industrial manufacturing it can act as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of aroma chemicals; and in polymers, plastics, coatings or inks it may be used to modify formulations by introducing aldehyde functionality. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
