  • Applications

    Methylcyclohexyl docosanoate (CAS 93803-95-3) is a high-molecular-weight ester commonly used in fragrance and cosmetic formulations as a fragrance fixative and scent carrier, helping to prolong aroma notes. It also serves as an emollient component in cosmetics/personal care products, contributing to skin feel and controlled fragrance release. In household products, it is used to impart long-lasting fragrance in air fresheners, detergents and fabric care formulations. In coatings, inks and some polymer formulations, it can act as a processing aid or texture modifier with wax-like rheology and potential plasticizing effects. Its use is formulation-dependent and subject to local regulations and limits.
