  • Applications

    2,6,7-Trimethyldecane (CAS 62108-25-2) is a branched C12 hydrocarbon commonly used as a solvent and processing aid in industrial manufacturing. In coatings and inks, it serves as a low-volatility solvent or diluent to adjust viscosity and drying behavior. In cleaning formulations and household products, it functions as a hydrocarbon solvent carrying active ingredients. In cosmetics and personal care as well as perfumery, it can be used as a carrier solvent for fragrance materials and other formulation components. In polymer and plastics processing, it may act as a processing solvent or diluent during formulation or resin blending. In lubrication and fuel-related applications, it can appear as a hydrocarbon blend component or processing aid in lubricant formulations. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
