  • Applications

    Sylvestrene (CAS 1461-27-4) is used primarily as an odorant and fragrance fixative in perfumery and cosmetics, helping to create and extend aroma in formulations. It is also considered an intermediate for organic synthesis and may be employed as a processing aid or fragrance component in industrial manufacturing. In coatings and inks, it can function as a fragrance additive to improve scent profiles; in household products, it contributes to the overall fragrance. In polymer and plastics formulations, it may be used to impart or stabilize fragrance in end products, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
