  • Applications

    Nonacosan-10-one (CAS 504-56-3) is a high-molecular-weight, long-chain aliphatic ketone used as a waxy component and fragrance-related ingredient. In perfumery and cosmetics, it may function as a fixative or slower-evaporating odorant, contributing emollience and texture to formulations. It is also used as a wax additive in coatings, inks, and polishes to improve gloss, slip, and film formation. In industrial manufacturing, it can act as a lubricant additive or processing aid due to its hydrophobic, high-molecular-weight character, and as a building block intermediate for synthesis of longer-chain esters or specialty polymers. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
