  • Applications

    8-Heptadecanone (CAS 14476-38-1) is a long-chain aliphatic ketone primarily used in the fragrance industry as a fragrance ingredient and a fixative, contributing scent notes and helping extend fragrance longevity in perfumes, cosmetics, and certain household products with fragrances. It is also employed as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance ingredients or cosmetic formulations. In industrial contexts it may serve as a starting material for the synthesis of specialty chemicals or as a component in fragrance-containing formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
