  • Applications

    Caron (CAS 497-62-1) is primarily used as an odorant and fragrance ingredient and may act as a fixative in perfumery and cosmetic formulations; it is also encountered as a solvent or processing aid in coatings and paints, printing inks, and cleaning products; in the field of polymers and plastics it can function as a stabilizer or plasticizer depending on the formulation; and it may serve as an organic synthesis intermediate in industrial production, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
