  • Applications

    For (E)-11-Hexadecen-1-ol (CAS 61301-56-2), practical applications span fragrance and perfumery where it can serve as a fragrance ingredient or fixative, cosmetics and personal care as an emollient or a building block for ester derivatives, and industrial manufacturing as a chemical intermediate for esters used in plasticizers and lubricants. It may also be used as a waxy additive in coatings and inks, and as a solvent or co-solvent in select cleaning formulations, all subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
