Terpinen-4-ol

Terpinen-4-ol is a monoterpene alcohol and the principal constituent of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), also present in the essential oils of nutmeg, marjoram and juniper. Nustras supplies it as a purified, colourless to pale yellow liquid for flavour, fragrance, personal-care and specialty chemical applications.

It is used as an aroma and fragrance component in cosmetics, soaps, shampoos and household products, as a flavour ingredient in food and beverage flavour compositions, and as a raw material in the formulation of topical personal-care and veterinary products. It also serves as a reference material and intermediate in fine chemical synthesis.

The material is a colourless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic terpene odour. CAS number 562-74-3, molecular formula C10H18O, molecular weight 154.25. Identity and purity are confirmed by gas chromatography against a reference standard, with content, refractive index and optical rotation standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot’s certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies terpinen-4-ol 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. Terpinen-4-ol is a listed flavouring and fragrance substance in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted use and level for their application.
