  • Applications

    Isobutyl pentadecanoate is a long-chain fatty ester that may be used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as an emollient and as a solvent/carrier for fragrances and active ingredients. It is commonly evaluated as a fragrance solvent and carrier in perfumery, aiding fragrance release and diffusion. In household products, it can serve as a solvent and fragrance carrier in cleaners and air fresheners. In coatings and inks, it acts as a solvent or processing aid compatible with resin systems. It may be evaluated as a plasticizer or processing aid in certain polymer formulations. It is also used as a solvent for greases and oils in cleaning formulations. The exact use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
