  • Applications

    Menthyl anthranilate (CAS 134-09-8) is primarily used as a UV-absorbing agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations. In perfumery, it serves as a fragrance ingredient and can act as a fixative due to its menthol-derived aroma. It is also utilized as an intermediate in the synthesis of fragrance compounds, and may be evaluated for incorporation in coatings or plastics to contribute UV stability in formulated systems, all subject to regulatory and formulation limits.
