What does Hexyl 2-Methylbutyrate smell like?

Crisp green apple with a waxy body, fleshy banana-pear nuances and a faint spicy-tropical lift. A workhorse in apple and pear accords, longer lasting than hexyl acetate and cleaner than hexyl hexanoate.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
