FAQ
What is Longifolene and what is it used for?
Longifolene is a tricyclic sesquiterpene found in heavy turpentine oil, a pale yellow liquid with a pine-like odor, used mainly as a starting point for isolongifolene production and in pine-aroma perfumes.
What are the major industrial applications of Longifolene?
It's used throughout the perfume industry (especially pine-aroma perfume series), as a synthetic fragrance raw material, in organic synthesis (dilongifolylborane, isolongifolene), and as a flotation agent for lead-zinc ore.
Where is Longifolene naturally found?
It occurs naturally in heavy turpentine oil, where it can make up more than 65% of the mass, with trace amounts in other essential oils.
How is Longifolene obtained from pine-derived sources?
It's extracted and refined from heavy turpentine oil, supplied in 80% and 90% purity grades.
Which industries use Longifolene?
Perfume and fragrance manufacturers, chemical synthesis companies, and mineral processing (ore flotation) operations.
What are the important physical and chemical properties of Longifolene?
It's a pale yellow liquid with a woody odor, molecular formula C15H24, molecular weight 204.35, refractive index 1.498–1.520, relative density 0.920–0.930.
What is Longifolene used for in fragrance formulations?
It's a key raw material in pine-aroma perfume compositions and synthetic fragrance manufacturing.
What purity grades of Longifolene are available?
It's available in 80% and 90% minimum GC purity grades.
How should Longifolene be stored and handled?
Protect from light, keep separated from incompatible substances, and store in a cool, dry place in a tightly closed container.
What factors should buyers consider when sourcing Longifolene?
Confirm the GC purity grade (80% vs 90%) needed for the application, and refractive index/density consistency for fragrance or flotation use.
What is the difference between Longifolene 80 and Longifolene 90?
The number is the approximate minimum longifolene content by GC. Longifolene 90 is the higher-purity grade for fragrance work needing a cleaner woody note, while Longifolene 80 is a more economical grade for industrial odorant and intermediate use.
