  • Applications

    Nonyl valerate (CAS 94248-13-2) is an ester of valeric acid and nonanol. In practical terms, it is primarily used in the fragrance industry as a fragrance ingredient and a fixative to help impart and preserve fruity notes in perfumery. It may also serve as a solvent or carrier in cosmetics and personal care formulations. In household products, it is encountered as a fragrance component in cleaners and air fresheners. In industrial settings, it can be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and may appear as an additive in coatings or inks to influence odor and processing behavior. Its use should be considered within local regulations and formulation limits.
