  • Applications

    6,8-Dimethyl-2-nonanol (CAS 70214-77-6) is a branched secondary alcohol that is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, helping to shape and fix aroma profiles. It is also used as a solvent or carrier in cosmetics and personal care products, and may serve as a co-solvent or processing aid in household cleaning formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it can act as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis and as a solvent in specialized formulations. Additionally, it may function as a processing aid or modifier in polymer and plastics formulations, and as a solvent component in coatings and printing inks.
