  • Applications

    p-Cresyl valerate (CAS 10415-86-8) is an aryl ester used primarily in fragrance applications as an odorant and, where appropriate, as a fixative in perfumery. It may also serve as a fragrance component in cosmetics/personal care and in household products. In addition, it is often evaluated as an intermediate in organic synthesis and can function as a processing aid or specialty plasticizer in certain polymer systems. It may be considered for use in coatings or inks as a fragrance-bearing additive, and its application is typically subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
