Tonalid is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume or soap.

Use

Tonalid has a powdery musky scent that many people in Europe think of clean laundry first. The smell is not very strong, but it is a solid. Making a dilution of say 10% - 25% in IPM can therefore be helpful. DPG is a less suitable solvent: after heating in a water bath it does dissolve, but after cooling it crystallizes again. You primarily use this substance in musk accords, usually using between 0.5% and 10% of this substance in the fragrance composition. It combines well with other musk scents, as well as white floral scents. It is primarily a base note in perfumes and is stable in many products, including soap.

Properties

Tonalid is a white, powdery substance at room temperature, with a purity of at least 97%. The substance has a long shelf life and hardly ever occurs in nature. The brand name Tonalid is owned by the Dutch PFW, but because it is a so-called 'strong brand' we cannot guarantee that the product we supply is also made by PFW.

It is the most commonly used musk fragrance after Galaxolide, but, as with Galaxolide, especially in laundry detergents.

Packaging

We pack this product in white plastic (PP) jars with a lid.
