Description

3-Cyclohexylpropyl Isobutyrate is a specialized organic ester compound valued for its unique organoleptic and chemical properties. Its structure makes it a versatile intermediate and functional ingredient, particularly useful in applications requiring controlled volatility and specific solubility profiles. This product is primarily sought by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and specialty chemical synthesis industries for creating complex aromatic compounds and high-value derivatives.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block in the synthesis of novel aroma chemicals and flavoring agents, imparting woody, fruity, or musky notes.
• Specialty Solvent: Used as a high-boiling, low-polarity solvent in coatings, inks, and resin formulations where controlled evaporation is critical.
• Plasticizer & Additive: Functions as a secondary plasticizer or processing aid in polymer systems to improve flexibility and workability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a protected alcohol equivalent or ester component in multi-step organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Lubricant Additive: Employed as a base stock or additive in specialty lubricants and functional fluids due to its stability and low pour point.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Cyclohexylpropyl Isobutyrate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. Our products undergo rigorous analytical testing, including GC and HPLC analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the high standards required for industrial and specialty applications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, physical properties, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment and is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain product integrity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
