  • Applications

    Chimyl Alcohol (CAS 506-03-6) is a long-chain fatty alcohol primarily used in cosmetics and personal care as an emollient and texture enhancer. It also serves as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of wax esters and fragrance-related derivatives used in perfumery, acting as a carrier and sometimes a fragrance fixative. In industrial manufacturing, it can function as a slip agent or rheology modifier in polymers, coatings, and inks, and is utilized as a building block for ester plasticizers and other specialty additives. It may also be evaluated for use in cleaning formulations as a waxy co-emollient component to improve mouthfeel and film formation.
