Benzaldehyde *ADR*

This text has been automatically translated and may contain errors. Benzaldehyde is a fragrance for use in, for example, perfume and air fresheners.

Use

Benzaldehyde has a strong, sweet, somewhat fruity odor reminiscent of bitter almond, edible spice, marzipan and cherries. The smell is very strong, making a dilution of, for example, 10% or even 1% can therefore be useful. The usual solvent is DPG. Typical use is in cherry and other fruit accords and in almond scents. You usually use between a trace and 1% of this substance in the fragrance composition, but in special cases this can be higher. It combines well with fruit and vanilla. It is mainly a top note in perfumes. Not very stable in soap, but it is still used in, for example, almond soap because there is no suitable other fragrance for it. De Hekserij does not sell substances for food or other internal use. This substance is NOT an exception. Benzaldehyde is also used for other purposes in addition to perfumes. One of those purposes is as a raw material for the production of speed and amphetamines. For this reason, we are therefore reluctant to supply larger quantities of benzaldehyde. Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.

Properties

Benzaldehyde is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The purity during production is at least 99%, but under the influence of oxygen from the air it can be partly converted into benzoic acid. The vials will soon develop a crust of benzoic acid around the cap or neck. That is not very important for the smell. The substance occurs in nature, for example in bitter almond oil, but the synthetic version is used for use as a fragrance.

Packaging

The 10 and 50 ml packaging is made of brown glass with a black cap. The 250 g package is made of aluminum with a stopper and a white cap.
