Benzyl benzoate

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.
