Description :
P-Cymene, a naturally occurring compound, has a fresh citrusy-woody aroma. The liquid is colorless or pale yellow and belongs to the monoterpene group, which includes essential oils such as cumin oil and thyme. Thanks to its low toxicity, biodegradability, and solvent power, p-Cymene is widely used in fragrance, flavor, pharmaceutical, and industrial chemical applications. It also serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty chemicals and fine chemical products.
P-Cymene's citrus-herbal scent is used to create perfumes, detergents, and air fresheners. The pleasant, subtle aroma of P-Cymene enhances the flavor in foods and beverages. Related products: Ethyl Isovalerate, Dihydrojasmone
This chemical is used to produce resins and agrochemicals. It can also be used in the production of coatings, cleaning agents, and agrochemicals. P-Cymene is also used as a solvent carrier in industrial formulas. Find similar intermediates such as Ethyl Oleate and Pentanoic Acid.
P-Cymene is used as a precursor in pharmaceutical synthesis and shows antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory potential, making it useful in drug discovery and formulation development. Also see: Disodium Succinate, Fenchyl Alcohol
In R&D, PCymene is involved in the development of eco-friendly chemistry processes, new fragrance molecules, and special intermediates used for chemical applications. Useful for labs: Phytol, Vinyl Sulfurol
