Description

Benzyl benzoate (CAS 120-51-4 ), also identified by FEMA 2138 , is an ester used across fragrance, pharmaceutical, and industrial coating applications. It functions as a fixative and solvent in fragrance systems and a plasticizer in coatings. The material also serves as an active biocidal agent in topical formulations. In personal care and cosmetics, it acts as a fragrance fixative and solvent carrier, extending the longevity of scent profiles in fine fragrances and lotions. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a plasticizing solvent to improve flexibility and adhesion in resin-based systems. As a flavoring agent, it is incorporated into food and beverage products where a mild, balsamic note is required. In printing inks and packaging coatings, it contributes to film formation and UV stabilization, supporting durability in finished substrates. This versatility makes it a staple ingredient for manufacturers across multiple chemical sectors. The product is supplied as a clear, colorless liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. It is available in technical grade for coatings and industrial use for large scale manufacturing. Higher-purity grades meeting FCC and BP specifications are available for fragrance and food applications. Buyers should confirm grade suitability against their regulatory and formulation requirements before sourcing. Contact us for supply of Benzyl benzoate Request Quote
