  • Applications

    Cyclopentadecane is a saturated cycloalkane with 15 carbon atoms, used as a nonpolar solvent/diluent in a range of industrial formulations. In perfumery/fragrance, it may serve as a carrier or diluent for aroma compounds. In cosmetics and personal care, it can function as a solvent or carrier for active ingredients and other formulation components. In coatings and inks, it helps adjust viscosity and aids pigment dispersion as a nonpolar solvent. In plastics and polymer processing, it may act as a processing aid and carrier in blend formulations. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
