  • Applications

    Cyclohexylpropyl propionate (CAS 97158-38-8) is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient and solvent in perfumery and cosmetic formulations, where it acts as an odorant and, in some cases, as a fixative to extend scent. It is commonly evaluated for use in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners to impart floral/woody notes. In coatings and inks, it can function as a solvent or processing aid for fragrance-containing formulations. In polymers and plastics, it may serve as a plasticizer or processing aid. It can also be used as an intermediate in fragrance synthesis or as a solvent in industrial manufacturing.
