  • Applications

    n-Butyl cyclohexylacetate (CAS 27948-12-5) is an ester used as a fragrance ingredient and solvent in multiple formulations. In perfumery and cosmetics, it contributes a floral/green note and can act as a solvent and carrier for other components. In household products and cleaners, it provides aroma and helps dissolve other ingredients. In coatings and inks, it may serve as a fragrance carrier or processing solvent. In polymers/plastics and adhesives, it can function as a processing aid or plasticizer in certain formulations. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
