  • Applications

    Decyl cyclohexanecarboxylate (CAS 93479-48-2) is an aliphatic ester widely used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative in perfumery, helping to stabilize and prolong scent. It also serves as a solvent/vehicle in cosmetics and personal-care formulations, and can function as a plasticizer or processing aid for certain polymers. In coatings and inks, it can act as a slow-drying solvent or flow modifier. In household products, it serves as a fragrance solvent and scent carrier in cleaners and air fresheners. It may also be used as an intermediate in various industrial manufacturing applications, depending on formulation requirements and regulatory constraints.
