Basic Info
Benzyl Acetate (CAS 140-11-4): High-Purity Aroma Chemical & Industrial Synthetic Intermediate
Benzyl Acetate (systematic name: benzyl ethanoate) is an organic ester produced by the condensation of benzyl alcohol and acetic acid. Recognized for its distinct, intense floral profile reminiscent of jasmine, gardenia, and ylang-ylang, it serves as a foundational building block in the global fragrance and flavor manufacturing industries.
Beyond its aromatic applications, Benzyl Acetate exhibits favorable solubility, moderate volatility, and good chemical stability, making it an essential intermediate in organic synthesis and a specialized solvent for cellulose esters, resins, printing inks, and coatings.

To ensure seamless integration into international supply chains and international consumer goods manufacturing, our Benzyl Acetate is processed under audited quality management and environmental frameworks:
ISO 9001:2015 & ISO 14001:2015: Ensures systematic quality assurance across reaction control, distillation, packaging, and environmental impact management.
IFRA Compliance Support: Fully supported with documentation detailing recommended dosage limits in various fragrance categories under International Fragrance Association guidelines.
EU REACH Registration: Compliant for commercial distribution within European market sectors.
Food & Flavor Standards (Select Grades): Manufactured under strict hygiene guidelines compliant with US FDA 21 CFR standards for food flavoring substances (FEMA No. 2135).
Regulatory Dossiers: Standard shipments include GHS-compliant Safety Data Sheets (SDS), Batch Certificates of Analysis (COA), Allergen Declarations, and Non-GMO/Vegan Statements.
Product Packaging
Every batch of Benzyl Acetate (CAS 140-11-4) undergoes strict analytical verification in our quality control laboratory before release. Our testing matrix focuses on maintaining consistent olfactive purity and physical parameters:
Gas Chromatography (GC-FID / GC-MS): Verifies ester purity (≥99.0%) and monitors key trace by-products (such as residual benzyl alcohol or free acetic acid) to prevent odor distortion.
Refractive Index & Specific Gravity: Tested via digital refractometry (1.500 – 1.504 at 20°C) and density meters (1.052 – 1.058 g/cm³ at 20°C) to ensure physical batch-to-batch identity.
Acid Value Determination: Potentiometric titration ensures free acid levels remain under 1.0 mg KOH/g, avoiding corrosion risks in processing equipment or stability issues in finished formulations.
Organoleptic Evaluation: Conducted by experienced perfumers on blotter strips over a 24-hour evaluation cycle to verify top-note clarity and off-note absence.
Moisture Content (Karl Fischer Titration): Kept below 0.1% to guarantee ester stability and prevent hydrolytic cleavage during storage.
Benzyl Acetate is a versatile aromatic and technical chemical used across diverse manufacturing sectors:
Fine Fragrances & Household Products: Functions as a core floral heart note in perfumes, fabric softeners, air fresheners, and personal care formulations (soaps, shampoos, body washes). It provides high initial impact and blends seamlessly with citrus, woody, and floral accords.
Flavors & Food Processing: Used in trace quantities to impart sweet, fruity notes (apple, pear, banana, berry) in beverages, confectionery, and baked products in compliance with regional flavor regulations.
Industrial Solvents & Coating Additives: Serves as a medium-boiling solvent for cellulose acetate, nitrocellulose, synthetic resins, printing inks, and lacquers due to its strong solvency power.
Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Applied as a starting material in organic synthesis for pharmaceutical intermediates and agrochemical specialty compounds.
Handling & Storage Guidelines:
Store in tightly sealed stainless steel, aluminum, or fluorinated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) containers.
Keep in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct light, high heat, ignition sources, and strong oxidizing/alkaline agents.

Q1: What is the purity level of your Benzyl Acetate (CAS 140-11-4), and can it be used in fine fragrances? A: Our standard grade Benzyl Acetate maintains a minimum GC purity of 99.0%. Because we strictly control trace impurities such as free acetic acid and residual halides, it is suitable for use in fine fragrances, personal care products, and household air care applications.
Q2: How does Benzyl Acetate react in strong alkaline environments? A: As an ester, Benzyl Acetate can undergo slow hydrolysis into benzyl alcohol and acetate salts under high pH conditions (strong alkaline bases). For high-pH formulations (such as heavy-duty bleach cleaners), stability testing or alternative stable aroma chemicals are recommended.
Q3: What packaging sizes are available for bulk commercial orders? A: We offer flexible industrial packaging options, including 200 kg steel/HDPE drums, 1,000 kg IBC totes, and ISO tank containers for high-volume shipments. Custom packaging and private labeling can be accommodated upon request.
Q4: Does your Benzyl Acetate carry IFRA compliance documentation? A: Yes, complete IFRA conformity certificates, allergen breakdown statements, and safety data sheets (SDS) are provided with every batch to assist fragrance compounders with regulatory filings.
