Benzyl alcohol, in its industrial-grade form, is a versatile chemical compound with a range of applications across industries. As a clear liquid with a mild, pleasant odor, it serves primarily as a solvent in the formulation of paints, coatings, inks, and adhesives. Its role as a chemical intermediate is notable, contributing to the synthesis of derivatives like benzyl chloride and benzyl acetate, crucial in pharmaceutical and fragrance production.

 

As an effective preservative, benzyl alcohol  extends the shelf life of personal care items, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations by inhibiting microbial growth. In the plastics industry, it acts as a plasticizer, enhancing the flexibility of polymers. With a mild and pleasant fragrance, it is a key component in the flavor and fragrance industry, enriching scents in perfumes and soaps.

UniVOOK Chemical’s Benzyl Alcohol is a high-quality and versatile chemical solution designed to meet the diverse needs of industrial applications. Our industrial-grade Benzyl Alcohol is a clear liquid with a mild, pleasant aroma, meticulously formulated to ensure consistent performance and reliability.

Benzyl alcohol in industrial applications is a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant aromatic odor. It is a useful solvent due to its polarity, low toxicity, and low volatility. Benzyl alcohol is used as a general solvent for inks, waxes, shellacs, paints, lacquers and epoxy resin coatings.

Like most alcohols, it reacts with carboxylic acids to form esters.
