  • Applications

    Cyclohexanepropanol, alpha,2,2-trimethyl-6-methylene- (CAS 13720-13-3) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery and cosmetics, while also serving as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance-related compounds. It may function as a lightweight solvent or processing aid in personal care and household products, and as an additive in coatings/inks to improve blend compatibility and scent retention. In industrial manufacturing, it can participate as an intermediate for fragrance derivatives or related polymeric materials, depending on formulation specifics and local regulations.
