  • Applications

    Cyclohexyl Palmitate (CAS 1673-08-1) is used in perfumery as a fragrance solvent and fixative; in cosmetics and personal care it serves as an emollient and conditioning ester; in household products it functions as a fragrance carrier/texture modifier to improve aroma delivery and product feel; in polymers and coatings it may act as a plasticizer or processing aid, helping modify film formation and flexibility. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
