  • Applications

    Butyl decanoate (CAS 30673-36-0) is used in perfumery as a fragrance ingredient and fixative to help stabilize and extend aroma notes; it also serves as a solvent or carrier for fragrances and flavors in flavoring and fragrance formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and solvent for fragrance components, contributing to texture and slip. In household products such as air fresheners and cleaners, it provides fragrance delivery and a softening feel. In coatings and inks, it can function as a low-volatility solvent or plasticizer to balance evaporation and film formation. In polymers and plastics, it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid in select formulations, and may be evaluated as an intermediate in synthesis, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
