Description

Ethyl Geranate is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid ester prized for its fresh, sweet, rose-like aroma with fruity undertones. This compound is a key building block and fragrance ingredient valued for its stability and versatility in fine chemical synthesis. It serves as a crucial intermediate and functional component for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-purity aroma chemicals.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A core ingredient in perfumery for creating rose, geranium, and citrus accords, used in fine fragrances, soaps, detergents, and cosmetic products.
• Flavor Enhancement: Employed as a flavoring agent to impart sweet, fruity, and berry-like notes in food products, beverages, and confectionery.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis for producing more complex fragrance molecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used as a fragrance component and emollient in lotions, creams, shampoos, and other personal care formulations.
• Aromatherapy & Home Care: Incorporated into essential oil blends, diffuser oils, candles, and household cleaning products for its pleasant and uplifting scent.
• Industrial Deodorants: Utilized in industrial applications to mask unpleasant odors in polymers, coatings, and technical products.
