  • Applications

    Methyl alpha-terpinyl ether (CAS 14576-08-0) is used primarily as a fragrance-related compound across several industries. It functions as an odorant and fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics/personal care, contributing to citrus/terpene notes. It is often evaluated as an aroma compound for flavor applications in specialty products. In household and cleaning formulations, it can act as a fragrance component or solvent. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as a processing aid or solvent and as an intermediate in the synthesis of other terpenoid fragrance materials. It may also appear in coatings/inks and adhesives as a minor solvent or odorant component, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
