Description

Dihydroterpineol is a versatile, high-purity monocyclic terpene alcohol valued for its pleasant, pine-like odor and excellent solvent properties. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a stable, high-boiling solvent with low toxicity and good compatibility with a wide range of resins and polymers. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and industrial chemical sectors for its reliable performance and consistent quality. Our global supply chain ensures ready availability of Dihydroterpineol CAS NO 498-81-7 to meet the demands of diverse industrial applications.

Application

• Fragrance & Flavor Industry: Used as a key fragrance ingredient and solvent in perfumes, cosmetics, soaps, and air fresheners for its fresh, woody aroma.
• Industrial Solvent: Acts as an effective solvent for resins, dyes, inks, and cellulose esters, prized for its high boiling point and low volatility.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a valuable chiral intermediate and starting material in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
• Cleaning & Degreasing Formulations: Incorporated into industrial and household cleaners for its solvency power and pleasant residual scent.
• Coatings & Adhesives: Functions as a coalescing agent and solvent in paint, varnish, and adhesive formulations to improve film formation and application properties.
• Plasticizer & Stabilizer: Used as a secondary plasticizer and stabilizer in certain polymer systems to enhance flexibility and processing.

Quality Control

Our Dihydroterpineol is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is analyzed against stringent in-house specifications, which typically include identity confirmation, purity assay, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific test results is provided with every shipment. We are committed to meeting the quality standards required for industrial, fragrance, and intermediate use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize headspace after partial use. Keep away from heat, sparks, open flames, and strong oxidizing agents.
