  • Applications

    2-Isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl palmitate (CAS 861351-16-8) is a lipophilic ester commonly used in perfumery as a fragrance ingredient and fixative, contributing to scent longevity. In cosmetics and personal care it serves as an emollient and fragrance carrier within formulas. It is also found in household products and cleaners as a fragrance component and texture-modifying agent. In coatings and inks it may act as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve film formation and formulation compatibility. In polymers and plastics, it is sometimes evaluated as a processing aid or lubricating ester to adjust rheology and tactile properties.
