  • Applications

    Cyclodecanone (CAS 1502-06-3) is used primarily as an intermediate in fragrance chemistry, where it supports the synthesis of aroma compounds and can function as a fixative in perfumery. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be employed as a solvent or as a fragrance component within formulations. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a high-boiling solvent and processing aid for coatings, inks, and adhesives. It also acts as a chemical building block in the production of specialty polymers and plastics, where it may be incorporated or transformed in synthetic routes. Additionally, in household products, it can serve as a solvent or carrier for formulation ingredients in cleaners and polishes.
