  • Applications

    Dodecylcyclohexane (CAS 1795-17-1) is typically used as a non-polar solvent and processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives, and as a diluent in polymer processing and general industrial manufacturing. It can serve as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and may function as an additive or lubricant component in plastics and metalworking fluid systems. In perfumery and personal care, it can be employed as a fragrance solvent or carrier to dissolve and stabilize fragrance ingredients. It may also appear in cleaning formulations and industrial cleaners as a non-polar solvent component. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
