  • Applications

    (E)-11-Hexadecenyl acetate, CAS 56218-72-5, is a long-chain ester widely used as a fragrance ingredient and fixative to extend and stabilize aroma in perfumery and fragrance formulations, and as a component in cosmetics and personal care products. It is also used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other fragrance esters and related odor-bearing compounds. In cleaning and household products, it may be added to contribute a long-chain scent profile and help maintain fragrance longevity. In industrial contexts, it functions as an additive or intermediate for the production of coatings, plastics, and inks where long-chain esters help tailor odor characteristics and volatility.
