  • Applications

    Bicyclohexyl (CAS 92-51-3) is a nonpolar hydrocarbon primarily used as an industrial intermediate in organic synthesis, as a nonpolar solvent or diluent for coatings, inks and adhesives, and as a plasticizer-like additive or processing aid in specialty polymers; it is also evaluated for fragrance applications as a fixative or odorant in perfumery due to its high boiling point and low volatility, and may appear in cosmetics or personal care formulations as a solvent carrier or fragrance component where formulation limits permit.
