It is registered under CAS 123-68-2.
The catalog records an average working dose of 0.5% Max%, which is a starting point for a trial rather than a limit.
How it behaves
volatility index 0.71 · the openingA boiling point of 185 °C and a molecular weight of 156.22 g/mol give Allyl Caproate a volatility index of 0.71, which places it in the opening of a composition.
It leaves the strip early and does its work in the first minutes, before the heart arrives.
The index runs from 0 for a material that barely leaves the strip to 1 for one that flashes off, and it is computed from boiling point and molecular weight. Inside a real formula the surrounding materials shift where the boundaries fall, so a material can read differently there than it does here.
