  • Applications

    Ethyl 3-hydroxydecanoate (CAS 6071-25-6) is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient and odor fixative in perfumery; it can serve as an emollient ester in cosmetics/personal care, providing light moisturization and functioning as a solvent in creams, lotions, and hair-care formulations. It may also be used in household products as a fragrance component or solvent; in the polymers/plastics field it can act as a plasticizer or processing aid to impart flexibility in certain formulations; and it may be evaluated as an intermediate in chemical synthesis for broader industrial applications.
