Description

Cedarwood Oil Terpenes Fraction CAS NO 68608-32-2 is a refined, high-value fraction derived from the steam distillation of cedarwood, consisting primarily of sesquiterpene hydrocarbons. This natural terpene blend is prized for its unique woody, amber-like aroma and its role as a versatile building block in fragrance chemistry and specialty formulations. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the fragrance, flavor, and agrochemical industries seeking natural, complex odor profiles and bioactive intermediates.

Application

• Fragrance & Perfumery: A key natural ingredient for creating and enhancing woody, balsamic, and amber base notes in fine perfumes, colognes, and personal care products.
• Aromatherapy & Home Scents: Used in diffuser blends, candles, and incense for its grounding, calming olfactory properties and natural origin.
• Flavoring Agent: Employed as a natural flavoring substance in food and beverages, contributing subtle woody and spicy nuances where permitted.
• Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a starting material or synergistic component in the synthesis of certain botanical pesticides and insect repellents.
• Industrial & Functional Fluids: Acts as a natural solvent or odor-masking agent in specialty cleaning formulations, paints, and coatings.
• Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Excipients: Utilized as a natural fragrance component and potential carrier in topical formulations and cosmetic products.
