  • Applications

    Methyl 2-methyldecanoate (CAS 29619-64-5) is used as a fragrance ingredient and odorant in perfumery, often serving as a fixative or key note due to its long-chain structure. It is also employed in cosmetics and personal care formulations as a fragrance component, and in household products such as air fresheners and cleaners to impart a distinctive aroma. In coatings and inks, it can serve as a fragrance additive to introduce lasting scent. In polymers and plastics, it may act as a plasticizer or processing aid in select resin systems. In industrial manufacturing, it is sometimes used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
