  • Applications

    Cyclododecane, 1-methoxy-1-methyl- (CAS number: 37514-30-0) may serve as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a nonpolar solvent or processing aid in niche formulations. In perfumery, it can function as a carrier or fixative component; in cosmetics/personal care, it may be used as a high-boiling solvent or formulation aid; in coatings and inks, it provides a nonpolar solvent medium for resins and pigments; in polymers/plastics, it may act as a processing aid or solvent during formulation; and in industrial cleaning, it can serve as a specialty solvent for waxy or hydrophobic residues. Use is subject to regulatory and formulation constraints.
