  • Applications

    Ethyl glycerin acetal levulinate is used primarily in fragrance and cosmetics as a fragrance ingredient and fixative, and it can function as a solvent or co solvent for fragrance systems in personal care formulations. It is also considered an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty aroma chemicals. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it can act as a solvent or plasticizer to adjust volatility and film formation. In the plastics and polymer sector, it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve compatibility of components. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
