  • Applications

    Cyclopentadecanol (CAS 4727-17-7) is a long-chain cyclic aliphatic alcohol used as a specialty intermediate and fragrance-related ingredient. In perfumery/fragrance, it can function as an odorant and a fixative. In cosmetics/personal care, it may serve as an emollient and solvent or carrier for active ingredients. In coatings and inks, it can act as a processing aid or a wax-like plasticizer to improve flow and film formation. In polymers/plastics, it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid in specialty formulations or as a precursor for esters used in functional materials. In industrial manufacturing, it is evaluated as an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty chemicals. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
