Description:

Benzyl Alcohol is often the primary solvent and sometime the only solvent in a given formula. Its primary function is as a sterilizing agent. However, due to its solvency power it is often used to keep hormones in solution with oil or other vehicles. It is also one of the thinnest (that is best for viscosity reduction) The major drawback to this solvent is that it tends to make for painful injections if the concentration goes above 10%. (This is true for any low molecular weight alcohol). Less than this tends to be painless for most people.

Application:


1.Benzyl alcohol can be used as raw materials and fixatives of spice, pharmaceutical raw materials and anesthetics, preservatives, coloring additives, coatings and solvent of inks. It also can be used to make ballpoint oil.

2.It can be used as chromatographic analysis reagent. And it also can be used in organic synthesis.

3.It can be used for the preparation of sesame oil, drugs and the like. It also can be used as the solvent and fixatives of spice.

4.Benzyl alcoholexists in many fragrant essential oils. Then it can be used as condensing agent with benzyl acetate in jasmine,
gardenia, lilac, ylang-ylang, tuberose, hyacinth, acacia and other floral type. It has the fixative effect too. It is often used as the solvent to dissolve artificial musk and other spices. In addition, it can be used as food spices inedible flavor, like cherries, grapes, honey, orange, raspberry, walnut, vanilla.

5.Benzyl alcohol is the edible spice that is temporarily allowed to use. It is mainly used in almonds, oranges, cherries, grapes, strawberries and other fruit-based flavor. The dosage of benzyl alcohol is as the normal production needs. It is usually 1200mg/kg in the chewing gum, 220mg/kg in baked foods, 160mg/kg in cold drinks, 47mg/kg in the candy, and 15mg/kg in soft drinks.

6.Benzyl alcohol is a very useful fixative. It is the indispensable spices to allocate jasmine, polianthes tuberosa, ylang-ylang and other flavorings. It can be used to prepare soaps and daily cosmetics flavorings. But benzyl alcohol can be naturally and slowly oxidized. Part of benzyl alcohol will be oxidized to benzaldehyde and benzyl ether, which makes commercial products with almond scent. It should not be stored for a long time. Benzyl alcohol is widely used in the production of industrial chemicals. It can be used as coating solvent, photographic developer, PVC stabilizer, medicine, solvent of synthetic resin, solvent of vitamin B injection, preservative of unguent or liquid. It also can be used as desiccant of nylon, fiber and plastic film, solvent of dye, cellulose ester and casein, intermediate to prepare benzyl esters or ethers. Meanwhile, it is widely used as pen oil, paint solvent, etc.

7.GB 2760--1996 stipulates that benzyl alcohol can be used as food spices temporarily. It also can be used as fixative agent and grease solvent. As spices, it is mainly used for the preparation of berries, nuts and other flavors.
8.It can be used in organic synthesis. It can be used as solvent of gelatin, casein (heat), cellulose acetate and shellac and the like, microscope embedding material. It also can be used to determinate the contents of vitamin B12.
