  • Applications

    Methyl 3-hydroxydecanoate, 62675-82-5, is used primarily as a fragrance ingredient and solvent component in perfumery and cosmetics, contributing scent profiles and aiding formulation of active ingredients in skin and hair care products. It is also employed as an emollient and as a solvent carrier for actives. In polymers and coatings, it can function as a plasticizer or processing aid to improve flexibility and compatibility. As a hydroxy fatty ester, it serves as a building block for specialty esters and surfactants used in industrial formulations. Additionally, it can appear in cleaning and household formulations as a solvating base and fragrance component.
