  • Applications

    2-Methylbutyl tetradecanoate (CAS 93805-23-3) is a long-chain fatty ester commonly used in perfumery as a fragrance ingredient and fixative, helping to extend aroma duration. It also serves as an emollient and solvent/carrier for fragrance components in cosmetics and personal care formulations. In household products, it functions as a fragrance solvent and carrier in detergents, cleaners, and air fresheners. In industrial manufacturing, it can act as a plasticizer or processing aid in polymers and coatings, influencing texture and flexibility. It may also be employed as a scent carrier in cleaning formulations, where regulatory compliance and formulation limits apply.
