👨‍🔬 Perfumer’s Technical Note:

The quality of Isobornyl Acetate is defined by its Residual Acid Value.

Our process ensures an Acid Value significantly lower than the industry standard (Instance: 0.18 vs Standard 1.0). This low acidity prevents the “vinegar-like” off-note often found in cheaper grades and ensures better stability when used in alkaline soap bases.

3. Core Applications & Performance Research

A. Functional Fragrance (Daily Chemicals)

Isobornyl Acetate is a workhorse ingredient for functional perfumery due to its volume and tenacity.

• Soaps & Detergents: It serves as a cost-effective “Pine” or “Fougere” base. Its chemical structure (ester) is relatively stable in alkaline soap environments compared to aldehydes.

• Room Sprays & Air Fresheners: Provides the characteristic “forest fresh” top note.

• Fixative Effect: It acts as a blender for more volatile terpenes (like Limonene), extending the perceived freshness of the scent.

B. Chemical Intermediate (Synthesis)

• Pharmaceuticals: It is a key intermediate in the production of Synthetic Camphor and Medical Grade Isoborneol.

• Reaction Efficiency: Our high purity (≥ 97%) minimizes side reactions, improving the yield of subsequent hydrolysis or oxidation steps.

C. Industrial Solvents & Agrochemicals

• Green Solvent: Used as a high-boiling solvent in specialized inks and polymer coatings where a slow evaporation rate is required.

• Agro: Used as an inactive solvent/carrier in certain pesticide formulations due to its solvency power.

4. Production & Quality Control

• Production Route: Manufactured via the acid-catalyzed esterification of Camphene with Acetic Acid.

• Isomer Control: Our process maximizes the exo- isomer (Isobornyl) content over the endo- isomer (Bornyl), ensuring the correct odor profile expected by perfumers.

• Filtration: Final product undergoes multi-stage filtration to ensure crystal clear appearance.

5. Packaging & Logistics

• Galvanized Iron Drum: 190 kg or 200 kg net weight.

• Plastic Drum (HDPE): Available upon request for specific acid-sensitive applications.

• ISO Tank: 20 MT (Bulk supply).

• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Keep containers sealed to prevent moisture ingress (which can cause hydrolysis).

6. Why Sourcing from Us?

• Direct from Turpentine Chain: We control the upstream Camphene supply, ensuring price stability even when raw material markets fluctuate.

• Odor Consistency: We maintain a “Standard Odor Sample” library to ensure Batch #2408 smells exactly the same as Batch #2301.
