  • Applications

    p-Cresylacetate is commonly used in perfumery and cosmetics as an fragrance ingredient; it can function as a solvent or processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives for industrial manufacturing; it is used as an organic synthesis intermediate to prepare substituted derivatives of cresyl acetate; it may act as a plasticizer or co-solvent in certain polymer formulations; and it is sometimes added to household and cleaning products as a fragrance component, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
