  • Applications

    2-Methyl 5-cyclohexylpentanol (CAS 1141487-54-8) is primarily used as an odorant and fragrance intermediate in perfumery and cosmetics, where its bulky hydrophobic structure can contribute to scent profiles and fixation. It may serve as a solvent or processing aid in a range of household products and personal care formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it acts as a building block for the synthesis of additional aroma compounds and specialty chemicals. It is also employed as a component in coatings and inks formulations to influence processing properties and fragrance release, and can be used as a modifier or intermediate in polymer and plastics applications to tailor material performance.
