Ws-5

Description :

WS-5 Supplier and Exporter for the UK

Chemical Bull supports WS-5 sourcing for UK buyers, serving specialist flavour formulators, oral care developers and personal care manufacturers. Share your required grade, specification and order quantity to request a supply quotation. Our role is to coordinate the offered material and commercial details against your purchasing requirements.

What Is WS-5?

WS-5 is a synthetic cooling ingredient used in selected sensory formulations. It is distinct from WS-3 and menthol, so performance and suitability should be evaluated for the specific grade and intended finished product.

CAS number: 68489-14-5. Confirm this identity against the documentation for the supplied material.

WS-5 Uses and Industrial Applications

Flavour system assessment

Qualified material may be considered where a cooling sensation is wanted in a permitted application. Sensory strength and duration require controlled formulation trials.

Oral care development

Suitable grades can be evaluated by specialist formulators. The product type and market determine the required quality and end-use documentation.

Personal care formulations

The ingredient may provide a cooling effect in developed products. Solubility, exposure and compatibility require assessment of the complete finished formulation.

Choosing the Right WS-5 Grade

For bulk WS-5 procurement, specify assay, identity, melting behaviour, residual solvents and application documentation. Where the manufacturer uses a trade grade or a particular test method, include that reference in your enquiry. The offered specification should match the material you intend to approve for production.

Start with the intended product, sensory objective and required application documentation. Different cooling agents have different profiles and should not be substituted at an assumed equal level. Confirm identity, purity, solubility and relevant residual solvent limits for the offered grade. An industrial or research specification does not automatically qualify a material for flavour, oral care or cosmetic use. The finished formulation needs its own assessment of use conditions and compatibility.

Production Trials and Quality Checks

Use controlled sensory trials and the appropriate finished-product assessment to establish the required performance. Check dissolution, distribution and stability throughout the intended storage period. Claims about strength or duration should be supported by the specific formulation rather than taken from a general comparison between cooling ingredients.

For repeat supply, agree the acceptance limits and document requirements before the first commercial order. Review the batch Certificate of Analysis against that specification, and keep a retained sample where your quality procedure requires it. If a test method differs between sources, resolve that difference before treating the results as equivalent.

When comparing an alternative source, record the original manufacturer grade, the candidate specification and the results of your own evaluation. This gives purchasing and production teams a clear basis for approval. A lower quoted unit price should be considered alongside the material delivered, processing behaviour and any additional testing needed for the change.

Storage and Handling

Follow the SDS and manufacturer storage instructions for the particular cooling ingredient. Prevent contamination during weighing and transfer, and use the incorporation method established during formulation development. Confirm packaging and storage life for the offered batch. Do not infer a handling procedure or a finished-product usage level from another cooling agent.

WS-5 MSDS, SDS and Technical Documentation

Request the current WS-5 MSDS or Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the exact offered grade. The document covers hazard identification, handling, storage, exposure controls and transport information. Ask separately for the product specification, Technical Data Sheet where available, and a batch Certificate of Analysis. An SDS supports safe-use assessment; it does not replace a quality specification or demonstrate finished-product approval.

WS-5 Price and Bulk Supply for UK Buyers

The WS-5 price for UK delivery depends on the grade, quantity, packaging, source and agreed delivery terms. Include your delivery postcode, required date and purchasing frequency when requesting a quotation. State whether the destination is in Great Britain or Northern Ireland so the relevant supply arrangements can be reviewed. Availability, freight and any import responsibilities should be confirmed in the quotation before an order is placed.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is WS-5?

WS-5 is a synthetic cooling ingredient used in selected sensory formulations. The CAS number is 68489-14-5.

2. What is WS-5 used for?

Applications include flavour system assessment, oral care development, personal care formulations. The required grade and finished-product suitability depend on the actual formulation or process.

3. Can WS-5 replace WS-3 at the same concentration?

Do not assume an equal replacement. Cooling profile and formulation behaviour differ, so establish the appropriate level through application assessment and trials.

4. How can I request a bulk WS-5 price for the UK?

Send the product name, approved specification, required quantity, packaging preference and UK delivery postcode. Include your target date and documentation requirements for a relevant quotation.

5. Can I request a WS-5 MSDS?

Yes. Ask for the current SDS/MSDS for the offered grade, together with the product specification and available COA or TDS. Review the documents before approving the material.
