  • Applications

    9-Heptadecanone (CAS 540-08-9) is a long-chain aliphatic ketone primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. In perfumery it contributes to subtle odor notes and may act as a fixative to help retain fragrance in formulations. It is evaluated for use in cosmetics and personal care as a scent component, and in household cleaning products as an odorant. In industrial manufacturing it can serve as a solvent or processing aid and may function as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. In coatings and inks it may be employed as a fragrance additive or formulation component to adjust odor and processing properties.
