  • Applications

    Methylfurylthiobutanal is used mainly as a fragrance ingredient and odorant, contributing sulfur-containing furanyl notes in perfumery and aroma formulations, and it is commonly evaluated as an intermediate in the synthesis of sulfur- and furan-based fragrance compounds. It may also function as a flavor/aroma intermediate in food-related flavorings, within regulatory constraints. In cosmetics and personal care, it can serve as a fragrance component in formulations, subject to regional limits. In household products and cleaners, it can contribute to fragrance profiles. In industrial manufacturing, it is employed as a reactive intermediate for building blocks in specialty polymers, resins, and coatings, enabling incorporation of furylthiol functionality into materials, with use driven by specific formulation goals. All uses are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
