Benzyl Alcohol

Premium Benzyl Alcohol for Pharmaceutical, Cosmetic & Industrial Applications

Avans NutriHealth Co., Ltd. delivers pharmaceutical-grade Benzyl Alcohol that meets USP2023, EP11.0, and CP2020 standards with a purity exceeding 99.9% via Gas Chromatography analysis. This colorless liquid features a mild floral odor and serves as a bacteriostatic preservative, high-performance solvent, and curing accelerator across pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. With benzaldehyde content strictly controlled below 0.05% and chlorinated compounds under 50 ppm, our formulation ensures regulatory compliance for sensitive applications. Backed by FSSC22000, HALAL, and HACCP certifications, Avans combines advanced manufacturing infrastructure with rigorous quality control systems to guarantee consistent supply of this versatile raw material (CAS No. 100-51-6).

What Is Benzyl Alcohol and Why It Matters?

This aromatic molecule, also known as phenylmethanol, solves key industry difficulties. Looking for low toxicity bacteriostatic agents for parenteral use? Inhibitory activity of our product on Gram-positive bacteria is good at the 1-3% concentrations.

Problems with chilly environment and epoxy resin viscosity? It functions as a cure accelerator and prevents surface flaws. Its capacity to dissolve cellulose esters, stability under a range of situations and its performance safety make it an essential.

The molecular formula C7H8O brings trust to medicines that need both efficacy and regulatory approval.

Key Physical and Chemical Properties

They are characterised by high refractive index and great solvency. Low moisture content makes it fit for use in anhydrous systems. Acidity can be strictly controlled by titration to avoid interfering with delicate chemical reactions.

Three High-Demand Application Scenarios

Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Preservation: Used as a bacteriostatic preservative in multi-dose injectable vials. At 1-3% concentration it is effective against moulds and local anaesthetic characteristics. EU and FDA rules restrict it to 1.0% in leave-on cosmetics to reduce the risk of sensitisation.

Epoxy Resin Systems: Industrial coatings need viscosity reducers that function in tough environments. This compound can speed cure rates even in high humidity or low temperature conditions. It marginally lowers the glass transition temperature but eliminates blushing faults on finished surfaces.

Flavour & Fragrance Industry: It is used as a fixative for essential oils and is used to maintain aromatic stability in perfumes and soaps. It is a precursor of benzyl acetate used to impart fruit-like flavourings in food applications.

Storage and Handling Recommendations

To maintain product integrity and avoid degradation, store Benzyl Alcohol properly. Store in light-resistant containers preferably made of HDPE, PTFE or glass (not polystyrene or low-density polyethylene) and tightly capped.

Store under a blanket of inert nitrogen to minimise exposure to oxidisation. Store containers at a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Monitor regularly for colour changes or strange odours that suggest the production of benzaldehyde.

These rules help to prolong shelf-life and maintain bacteriostatic efficacy. Your quality standards go across the supply chain.

Packaging Options

We offer flexible packaging solutions to meet your operational requirements:

· 25 kg HDPE drums for regular production needs

· 200 kg steel drums for bulk industrial applications

· Custom packaging available upon request

All containers feature tamper-evident seals and clear labeling with batch numbers, manufacturing dates, and certificate references. Our logistics team coordinates worldwide shipping with proper hazard classification documentation.

Rigorous Quality Control Standards

Quality assurance processes are directed to purity and stability. The Gas Chromatography testing indicates that the parameters are pharmaceutical grade and over 99.9%. Benzaldehyde monitoring inhibits oxidation deterioration from creating intense almond odours.

Titration for acidity testing guarantees compatibility with the formulation. Colour is measured using the APHA/Hazen scale. Moisture content is determined using Karl Fischer titration. Every batch is tested to the fullest before release.

Our FSC, ISO and USDA certifications are a testament to devotion to worldwide quality demands. Consistent raw materials to help you with your production schedules.

FAQ

Q: Why does oxidised material smell like almonds?

A: Oxidation turns product to benzaldehyde. It's high-quality cloth and only faintly flowery. Store correctly to prevent this change chemically.

Q: Which containers are safe for long-term storage?

A: Use HDPE, PTFE or glass jars. This chemical softens polystyrene and low-density polyethylene, which is a threat to container integrity.

Q: What are the limitations of concentration in cosmetic formulations?

A: Regulatory bodies normally limit leave-on cosmetics to 1.0% as a preservative to minimise concerns of skin sensitisation.

Q: How does it function in cold epoxy cure?

A: It enhances the reaction rates dramatically with a modest decrease in glass transition temperature. This avoids surface flaws in low temperature applications.

Q: What factors affect the stability of a product?

A: Light exposure, oxygen contact, and moisture absorption accelerate degradation. For best preservation use inert gas blanketing and light resistant packaging
