  • Applications

    2-Phenoxyethyl propionate is primarily used in perfumery as a fragrance ingredient and fixative, helping to modulate aroma release. It also functions as a solvent or carrier for fragrance components in cosmetics and personal care products. In household products such as air fresheners and cleaners, it serves as a fragrance solvent and carrier. In coatings and inks, it is used as a solvent for fragrance-containing formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it may be employed as a processing solvent or intermediate in fragrance-related formulations.
