• Terpineol CAS 98-55-5

Terpineol CAS 98-55-5

Terpineol is supplied as an industrial terpene alcohol, commonly used as a functional solvent and intermediate in formulation systems requiring mild odor characteristics and good solvency performance. It is derived from terpene-based feedstocks and is generally positioned between fragrance chemistry and industrial solvent applications.

In industrial supply chains, terpineol is used in coatings, printing inks, cleaning formulations, and specialty chemical systems where controlled evaporation and compatibility with organic phases are required. It is typically supplied as a liquid product suitable for direct incorporation into formulation processes. Standard bulk packaging and technical documentation such as COA, TDS, and SDS are available to support procurement and formulation development.
