Ethyl Amyl Ketone / Lavender Ketone

Ethyl amyl ketone, also called 5-methylheptan-3-one or lavender ketone, is an aliphatic ketone with a characteristic fruity, herbaceous odour. Nustras supplies it as a colourless liquid for use as a flavour and fragrance ingredient and as a solvent in industrial formulations.

Ethyl amyl ketone is formulated into fragrance compositions, particularly lavender-type and herbaceous accords for perfumery, soaps and household products, into flavour formulations where a fruity-green note is specified, and into coatings, inks and resin systems as a solvent.

The material is a clear colourless liquid with CAS number 541-85-5, molecular formula C8H16O and molecular weight 128.21, standardised to specification. Identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy or gas-chromatographic retention and assay by gas chromatography, and refractive index, specific gravity, water content, acidity and colour are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies ethyl amyl ketone in bulk commercial quantities, in sealed drums and containers, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Ethyl amyl ketone is used as a flavouring and fragrance material in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted use, grade and level for their application.
