Amyl salicylate

CAS: 2050-08-0

Overview

Amyl salicylate is a synthetic ester used primarily as a fragrance ingredient, valued for its characteristic sweet, floral, and herbaceous scent profile. Pentyl 2-hydroxybenzoate is a recognized alternative name buyers may encounter in technical documentation and supplier listings.

The compound with CAS 2050-08-0 functions as both a fragrance component and a fixative in finished formulations. In personal care and cosmetics, it is incorporated into perfumes, soaps, and lotions to deliver a fresh, clover-like floral note.

This ingredient provides moderate tenacity in aromatic applications. Coatings and printing ink formulators use it as a solvent carrier to improve resin compatibility and aid in controlled film formation during the manufacturing process.

In adhesives and sealant systems, it supports viscosity adjustment and acts as a plasticizing carrier for specific polymer blends. Its solvent properties also make it relevant in specialty coatings where controlled evaporation is a priority.

Substrate wetting is another key benefit when utilizing this chemical in industrial formulation priorities. Amyl salicylate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid in standard bulk and drum packaging for global distribution.

It is available in fragrance-grade purity meeting industry quality benchmarks, with technical-grade material also offered for industrial solvent applications. Specifications are typically aligned with recognized fragrance industry standards.

The material is provided with IFRA conformance documentation where required by the client. This ensures that the product meets the necessary safety and regulatory requirements for use in diverse consumer and industrial markets.
