  • Applications

    Methyl cis-10-pentadecenoate (CAS 90176-52-6) is a long-chain fatty acid methyl ester used as a solvent, processing aid and emollient across several industries; in perfumery and cosmetics it can function as a fragrance ingredient and as a carrier/emollient for formulations, in household products as a solvent and formulation aid, and in polymers/plastics and coatings/inks as a plasticizer or processing additive. It can also serve as a raw material or intermediate for the synthesis of specialty esters used in lubricants and related formulations.
