KALAMA BENZYL ALCOHOL

In the pharmaceutical industry benzyl alcohol is used as a preservative, in emulsions and ointments and in insect-bite lotions. Benzyl alcohol NF/FCC grade is used as a raw material in the manufacture of its various esters, which are used in the soap, perfume and flavor industries and as an intermediate in the synthesis of polypeptides. Examples of these esters are benzyl acetate and benzyl benzoate. Benzyl acetate is used in flavours for its pear-like taste, as a jasmine perfume ingredient and as a fixative for artificial musks. Benzyl benzoate finds application in pharmaceuticals, as a fixative in perfumes, as a flavouring in confectioneries and chewing gums, and as a softener in lacquers. Based on the high purity and stable odour profile our benzyl alcohol is also used for fragrance applications.
