  • Applications

    Methylcyclohexyl myristate (CAS 93803-94-2) is primarily used as an emollient and lightweight solvent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, providing slip and a mild skin-feel; in perfumery it serves as a fragrance solvent and carrier for aroma compounds and may function as a fixative in select formulations; in household products it acts as a non-volatile solvent and texture-enhancing carrier for fragrances and actives; in polymer and coatings applications it may be used as a plasticizer or processing aid to adjust flexibility and processing characteristics; in industrial manufacturing it can serve as a bulk solvent or carrier for specialty blends where a stable, high-boiling ester is desirable.
