  • Applications

    Afromosin (CAS 550-79-8) is used as a formulation component across multiple industries, where it may serve as a solvent and processing aid in industrial manufacturing, as an intermediate in organic synthesis, and as a solubilizer or fragrance-related fixative in perfumery and cosmetics; it may also act as a stabilizer or compatibility agent in coatings, inks, and plastics formulations, and can function as a cleansing or surfactant adjunct in household and industrial cleaning products.
