  • Applications

    2-Nonanol, 2-methyl-, CAS 10297-57-1 is a long-chain tertiary aliphatic alcohol that may be used as a solvent and reaction medium in chemical synthesis and as a building block for fragrance esters. In perfumery and cosmetics, it may serve as a solvent and as a component in fragrance formulations to adjust evaporation characteristics. It may be used in household products and cleaning formulations as a non-polar solvent for fragrance ingredients and actives. In industrial manufacturing and coatings/inks, it may be employed as a processing solvent or viscosity modifier. It may also be used as an intermediate in the production of plasticizers or other specialty chemicals for polymers.
