  • Applications

    Decan-5-ol (CAS 5205-34-5) is used primarily as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a high-boiling solvent in industrial formulations. It serves as a precursor for esters used in fragrance and flavor compounds, and can function as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery. In cosmetics and personal care, it is employed as a solvent and conditioning agent. In coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations, it acts as a solvent and processing aid. In polymer and plastics processing, it can be used as an intermediate for ester derivatives. It is also encountered as a lubricating component in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
