  • Applications

    6-Methyl-5-hepten-2-yl acetate (CAS 19162-00-6) is an aroma-ester primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in the perfume and cosmetics industries, providing volatile notes and potential fixative function in certain formulations; it is also employed as a fragrance additive in personal care products (cleansers, shampoos, moisturizers) and in household products and air fresheners to impart a fresh, durable scent. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of other fragrance compounds; in polymers/plastics and coatings/inks, it can be incorporated as a scented additive to impart odor or help mask the odor of the base materials, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
