What is Musk Ketone CAS 81-14-1?
Appearance and Traits
Light yellow to white flaky or powdered crystals, with a rich musk aroma and a hint of natural musk sweetness. The fragrance is long-lasting and soft.
Key physical property parameters
Melting point: 134.5-136.5°C (common value in literature) Some sources are marked as 135-139°C.
Density: 1.206 g/cm³.
Solubility: Readily soluble in ethanol (with a solubility of 1.8% in 95% ethanol), benzyl benzoate, benzyl alcohol and other organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water.
Flash point: > 100°C (Some sources indicate 2°C, in case of doubt, verification is required).
Musk Ketone CAS 81-14-1 Use
Spice industry
Fixative: As a representative of nitro musk, it is widely used in perfumes, cosmetics, and soap essences. It is particularly suitable for Oriental and sweet scent formulas, providing a long-lasting fragrance.
Blending suggestion: When used in combination with methyl violet ketone, lauryl alcohol, benzyl salicylate, etc., it can enhance the powdery aroma. The dosage is usually 0.2% - 5%.
2. Other applications
Used for the formulation of polyester-based heat-resistant insulating varnish (industrial grade application).
Pharmacological studies have shown that it has a central nervous system excitatory effect, but it is not a mainstream medicinal component (Note: Natural musk ketone CAS 541-91-3 is the pharmacologically active component).
