  • Applications

    Methyl (Z)-14-methylhexadec-8-enoate (30689-77-1) is a branched fatty acid methyl ester that is typically used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumery and cosmetics; in cosmetic formulations it commonly serves as a scent component and may function as a light fixative to help preserve fragrance longevity; in household products such as cleaners and air fresheners it is used as an aroma additive to impart desirable notes; at industrial scale it may be used as an intermediate or precursor for the synthesis of other fragrance esters and related compounds; in polymers/plastics and coatings it can be used as a processing aid or odor-enhancing additive to improve the odor quality of the material.
