  • Applications

    Isobornyl benzoate is commonly used in perfumery and cosmetics as a fragrance ingredient and fixative, helping to slow the evaporation of volatile aroma components. It also functions as a solvent or carrier for aroma compounds in formulations and can act as a plasticizer or a light tackifier in coatings and plastics. In household products, it is typically used to impart fragrance and odor stability, and in industrial manufacturing it may be considered as a processing solvent or intermediate, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
