  • Applications

    2-Pentadecylfuran (CAS 59958-20-2) is primarily used as an odorant in perfumery and as a fragrance ingredient in cosmetics, personal care products, and household goods, with the potential to act as a fixative to extend fragrance notes. It is also evaluated as an intermediate in industrial manufacturing, including the synthesis of specialty chemicals and polymers. In the polymers/plastics sector, it may serve as a precursor or additive to modify material properties and odor profiles, and in coatings and inks it can be used as a fragrance additive in fragrance-containing formulations.
