  • Applications

    2(5H)-Furanone, 5-methyl-3-[12-[3-(3-octadecenyl)oxiranyl]dodecyl]- (CAS 178330-56-8) is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery and cosmetics, providing a lipophilic character that supports long-lasting aroma in personal care products. It may be evaluated for odorant roles in household formulations such as cleaners and air fresheners. In coatings and polymers, the lactone core and epoxy functionality enable it to act as a reactive intermediate or processing additive for specialty polymer formulations and high-performance coatings. It can also serve as a synthesis precursor for fragrance-related intermediates and specialty monomers in industrial manufacturing. Applications include fragrance ingredient (odorant/fixative), cosmetic fragrance component, household scent additive, and a reactive intermediate for coatings/polymers.
