FAQ
What is Terpinyl Acetate and what is it used for?
Terpinyl Acetate occurs naturally in essential oils like cedar, pine and cardamom oil, and is produced industrially by reacting terpineol with acetic anhydride — used broadly in fragrance and food flavoring.
What are the major industrial applications of Terpinyl Acetate?
Eau de cologne, toilet soap and food flavoring (lavender, bergamot, forest and fougère notes), artificial essential oil composition, fruit flavoring (pear, plum, apricot, cherry, citrus), and as an intermediate for very-high-purity alpha-terpineol.
What does Terpinyl Acetate smell like?
It has a lemon-lavender scent, with a flowery, bergamot-lavender character in refined grades.
Why is Terpinyl Acetate used in fragrance formulations?
Its lemon-lavender character and versatility make it a widely used aromatic component, applied at concentrations up to around 30% in fragrance compositions.
How is Terpinyl Acetate manufactured?
It's produced industrially by esterifying terpineol with acetic anhydride, using sulfuric acid as the catalyst.
What is the difference between Terpinyl Acetate and Terpineol?
Terpinyl Acetate is the acetate ester of terpineol — esterification shifts its odor profile and makes it useful both as a fragrance ingredient and as an intermediate that can be converted back to very-high-purity alpha-terpineol.
Which industries commonly use Terpinyl Acetate?
Fine fragrance, personal care, food flavoring, and pet care product manufacturers.
What are the key physical and chemical properties of Terpinyl Acetate?
It's a colorless to slightly yellow liquid, molecular formula C12H20O2, with an acid value of 1.0 max and refractive index of 1.464–1.470.
What purity specifications are available for Terpinyl Acetate?
It's typically supplied at 95% or 98% minimum purity, with grades also differentiated by optical rotation for specific applications.
How should Terpinyl Acetate be stored and handled?
Reseal opened containers carefully and keep them upright to avoid leaks; store in a cool location with the container tightly closed in a dry, well-ventilated place.
What does the "+VE Optical Rotation" grade of Terpinyl Acetate mean?
It is Terpinyl Acetate manufactured to a specified positive (dextrorotatory) optical rotation, which some fragrance houses require for a naturalness or specification match. The standard grade is not controlled to a positive rotation. Both are otherwise used the same way as a lilac/pine fragrance ester.
Who supplies Terpinyl Acetate (+VE Optical Rotation) in bulk?
Himalaya Terpenes Pvt. Ltd. (Mumbai, India) supplies Terpinyl Acetate (+VE Optical Rotation) in bulk, in drums, bags, IBCs or ISO tanks depending on the grade, for domestic and export orders. The company is an ISO 9001:2015-certified pine-chemical manufacturer operating since 1971.
