  • Applications

    2,5-Dimethylundecane (CAS 17301-22-3) is a branched C13 saturated hydrocarbon commonly used as a non-polar solvent and diluent in industrial formulations. In practice, it serves as a solvent for coatings and paints and as a carrier for inks and adhesives; it can function as a processing solvent for polymers and in polymer formulation; it is used in cleaning and degreasing formulations for industrial machinery and systems; and it may be evaluated as a fragrance solvent/diluent in perfumery or cosmetics systems, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
