  • Applications

    Chemical name: Methyl 10-methyldodecanoate; CAS number: 5129-65-7. Methyl 10-methyldodecanoate is a branched fatty acid methyl ester used primarily as a fragrance solvent and carrier in perfumery, with potential to function as a fragrance fixative. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as a solvent and emollient to help dissolve other ingredients and improve texture. In polymers and coatings, it serves as a processing aid and plasticizer to enhance film flexibility and as a solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesives. It also finds use in cleaning formulations and household products as a solvent for diverse constituents, within regulatory and formulation limits.
