Flavors & Fragrances: Jasmine Foundation

Primary precursor for a-Amylcinnamaldehyde (Jasminaldehyde), which provides the distinctive floral note in soaps and fine perfumes. Also serves as a base for Coconut Aldehyde (y-Nonalactone) and various fruity esters

Agrochemicals: Bio-based Fungicides

(e.g., Oenanthol Bisulfite) are used in organic fungicide and insecticide formulations. Effective against a broad spectrum of plant pathogens including blights, mildews, and the Potato Tuber Moth (PTM)

Industrial & Specialty Chemicals

Building block for Plasticizers, Surfactants, and Lubricants. Converted into Heptanoic Acid and 1-Heptanol, which have further applications in polyamides and cooling fluids

Atmospheric Protection

Highly sensitive to oxidation. Must be stored under Inert Gas (Nitrogen) and is often stabilized with antioxidants (e.g., 100 ppm hydroquinone)

Temperature Control

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. Recommended storage at 2-8°C for analytical standards or below 15 o C for industrial bulk

Containment

Store in tightly sealed original containers (HDPE drums or ISO tanks). Keep away from light

Incompatibilities

Strong bases, strong reducing agents, and oxidizing agents

Polycyclic Synthetic Musks

Description : Our Ambrettolide is a high-purity, 17-membered macrocyclic lactone that captures the elegant, diffusive essence of natural ambrette seed oil. Known for its exceptional "tenacity" (lasting up to a month on a blotter), (IFRA 51st Amendment Ambrettolide Status updated) acts as a powerful fixative that harmonizes floral and fruity notes while providing a sensual, "white flower" musky undertone. Unlike petroleum-based musks, our 2026 grade is 100% renewable carbon-based and readily biodegradable, making it the preferred choice for premium, environmentally conscious fine fragrances and personal care formulations for Buy Isoambrettolide CAS 28645-51-4 Bulk. We are an established Macrocyclic Musk Ambrettolide Supplier globally providing comprehensive analytical (HPLC/NMR/MS) and supporting quality assurance documentation (COA/TDS/SDS) across all grades, detailed impurity mapping; and region-specific regulatory support. We ensure reliable lead times from R&D quantities through commercial-scale manufacturing, enabling partners to meet diverse global and regional requirements.
