  • Applications

    Decyl heptanoate (CAS 94160-12-0) is used as a fragrance ingredient and solvent in perfumery and personal care formulations, serving as a scent contributor and vehicle for aroma compounds in cosmetics; at the same time it functions as an emollient in cosmetic and skincare products, delivering a soft, smooth skin feel. It is also used as a solvent or fragrance carrier in household products and cleaners, and can act as a processing aid or carrier in coatings, paints, and inks to support formulation and performance. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as an intermediate or solvent for plastic and polymer systems, where ester-based processing aids help adjust solvency and formulation properties.
