Methyl benzoate
Description
Methyl benzoate (CAS 93-58-3 ), also known commercially as Clorius, is an ester used across fragrance, flavor, and industrial solvent applications. With FEMA 2683 designation, it is recognized as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient in regulated markets. Its solvent strength and low water miscibility make it a functional choice in formulation and chemical processing. In fragrance manufacturing, methyl benzoate contributes floral, ylang-like notes and acts as a fixative in fine fragrance and personal care formulations. Food and beverage producers use it as a FEMA-approved flavoring at controlled levels in confectionery, baked goods, and beverages. In polymer and resin processing, it functions as a solvent and carrier for dyes, resins, and coating systems where aromatic solvents are required. Pharmaceutical manufacturers also use it as a solvent in active ingredient synthesis and as a precursor in certain chemical processes. Methyl benzoate is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities suited to industrial procurement volumes. It is available in technical grade for industrial solvent and polymer applications, and in flavor/fragrance-grade material meeting purity standards relevant to food and cosmetic use. Specifications are aligned with FEMA requirements for flavor-grade supply. Contact us for supply of Methyl benzoate Request Quote
