  • Applications

    Cyclohexane, (dimethoxymethyl)-, CAS 18231-08-8, is used in fragrance applications as an odorant and a fixative component to help stabilize and extend aroma. It may be used as a solvent or processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives, supporting dissolution and formulation work. It serves as an intermediate in industrial chemical synthesis. In polymers and plastic formulations, it can function as a processing aid or solvent during formulation and processing. In cosmetics/personal care and household products, it may appear as a fragrance ingredient and as a low-volatility solvent in diverse formulations.
