Product Description
Ambroxane CAS 6790-58-5 is an amber-woody aroma chemical with the molecular formula C16H28O and EINECS 229-861-2.
Synonyms: Ambroxan; Ambroxide.
CAS: 6790-58-5.
Molecular formula: C16H28O.
It is normally supplied as a white crystalline powder, flakes, or solid with a molecular weight of about 236.39.
It has a powerful ambergris-type odor with amber, woody, musky, and slightly animalic character.
The material is highly diffusive and long-lasting, so it is commonly used as a fixative or base note in perfume compositions.
It is used in fine fragrance, perfume compounds, personal care fragrances, home care, air care, and functional perfumery.
It appears in woody, amber, oriental, marine, and modern ambergris-style accords.
Ambroxane is a synthetic or aroma-chemical substitute inspired by natural ambergris, not the natural animal-derived material itself.
It has a melting point around 70-77 °C and density around 0.94 g/cm3, with very low water solubility.
It is soluble in ethanol and common perfumery solvents.
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, direct sunlight, and moisture.
Use suitable PPE and avoid dust formation.
Confirm the offered grade, odor profile, purity, packaging, and transport requirements before dispatch, and follow the current SDS.
Every batch is checked for appearance, odor profile, purity, melting point, and packaging, with COA/TDS/SDS supplied per grade.
Confirm grade, odor profile, purity, melting point, packaging, and applicable standard as required.
