  • Applications

    5-Pentadecanone (CAS 92862-23-2) is a long-chain aliphatic ketone used mainly in fragrance applications as an odorant and fixative to extend scent, and it may be employed as a fragrance component in cosmetics and personal care products. It can also be used in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners to contribute fragrance, and in industrial manufacturing as an intermediate in the synthesis of longer-chain compounds. In coatings and inks, it may serve as a fragrance additive or processing aid to impart or stabilize scent, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
