  • Applications

    Heptadecan-7-ol is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient with potential as a fixative in fragrance systems; in cosmetics and personal care it can act as an emollient and processing aid in oil-based formulations; in industrial manufacturing it serves as an intermediate for the synthesis of fragrance esters and several plasticizers for polymers; it may also be a precursor for surfactants or surface-treatment additives used in coatings and inks, or as a lubricity component in industrial formulations.
