  • Applications

    Methyl 5-hydroxydecanoate, CAS 101853-47-8, is primarily used as an ester in fragrance and cosmetics, serving as an aroma ingredient and potential fixative in perfumes and personal care formulations, while contributing a soft, skin-friendly feel. It may also act as a chemical building block or precursor in polymer and plastic synthesis, and as a processing aid or intermediate in coatings and inks. In industrial contexts, it can be evaluated as an intermediate for specialty chemical syntheses and for pharmaceutical development. Additionally, it may function as a solvent or co-solvent in certain formulations and technical applications. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
