  • Applications

    Decyl 4-methylpentanoate is a long-chain branched fatty ester commonly used in perfumery and cosmetics as a fragrance ingredient and emollient; it can act as a solvent for fragrance oils and as a vehicle that enhances slip in personal care formulations; in household products it serves as a fragrance solvent and conditioning component; in coatings and plastics it may function as a processing aid or plasticizer in certain polymer systems; and in industrial manufacturing it is often evaluated as an intermediate for fragrance-related syntheses.
