  • Applications

    Apigravin (CAS 72963-64-5) is considered for a range of industrial applications, including as an intermediate in chemical synthesis, a solvent or processing aid in coatings and inks, and as a stabilizer or processing aid in polymers and plastics; in perfumery and fragrances it may serve as a carrier or fixative, in cosmetics and personal care it can function as a solvent or texture-enhancing ingredient, and it is evaluated for cleaning formulations and detergents used in household or industrial settings.
