α-Terpineol is primarily derived from turpentine (α-pinene) through acid-catalyzed hydration and fractional distillation. Shenlong Herbal is the professional α-Terpineol supplier in China, with competitive price and best quality of our products.

Flavor & Fragrance Industry (Core Application)

• Perfumery: Dominates as a fragrance ingredient for floral scents (e.g., lilac, lily-of-the-valley, citrus) due to its fresh, woody, and floral aroma.

Widely used in cosmetics, soaps, and perfumes for long-lasting, elegant notes.

Pharmaceuticals & Nutraceuticals

• Antimicrobial Agent: Effective against dental pathogens (e.g., caries-causing bacteria) and skin fungi (e.g., Trichophyton mentagrophytes) by disrupting microbial cell structures.

Used in oral hygiene products (toothpaste, mouthwash) and topical antifungal formulations.

• Key precursor for synthesizing derivatives like α-terpinyl acetate (analgesic) and vitamins (E, K).

Industrial Solvents & Functional Materials

• Green Solvent:

Replaces toxic solvents in electronics manufacturing, e.g., cleaning solder flux from PCBs and silver pastes due to low toxicity and high solvency.

• Polymer Synthesis:

Monomer for terpene-based resins, adhesives, and coatings, enhancing flexibility and adhesion in paints/varnishes

Chemical Synthesis Intermediates

• Derivative Production:

Converted to citronellal, menthol, and high-value fragrances via catalytic processes.
