Description

Ethyl Phenethyl Alcohol is a versatile aromatic alcohol with a complex, rosy, and slightly honey-like odor profile. This compound is valued for its ability to impart rich, long-lasting floral and balsamic notes in fragrance compositions. It serves as a key intermediate and aroma chemical for manufacturers in the flavor and fragrance industry. Its chemical structure also makes it a candidate for use in organic synthesis for specialty applications.

Application

• Fragrance Formulation: A core component in perfumery for creating and enhancing floral, rose, balsamic, and honey accords in fine fragrances, cosmetics, and personal care products.
• Flavor Enhancement: Used as a flavoring agent to add subtle fruity, honey, and floral nuances to food products, beverages, and confectionery.
• Aroma Chemical Production: Acts as a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fragrance molecules and specialty esters.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Employed in the formulation of lotions, creams, and soaps for its stable scent characteristics and functional properties.
• Household & Industrial Products: Incorporated into air fresheners, detergents, and cleaning agents to provide a pleasant and persistent fragrance.
• Research & Development: Serves as a standard or building block in organic chemistry research and pharmaceutical synthesis.

Quality Control

Our Ethyl Phenethyl Alcohol is produced under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry standards for aroma chemicals, including those set by the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) and the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers Association (FEMA). Each lot is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and physical parameters, ensuring it meets the stringent requirements of our global B2B clients.

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 properties of being easily oxidized (store under inert atmosphere) and highly volatile, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use and away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
