What is Terpineol CAS 98-55-5 used for?

It is a terpene alcohol used as a solvent and functional additive in coatings, inks, and surface treatment systems, and as an intermediate in fragrance and aroma chemical formulations. It is also used in industrial cleaning and degreasing products.

Is CAS 98-55-5 alpha-Terpineol?

Yes. CAS 98-55-5 specifically identifies alpha-Terpineol. The broader name Terpineol can also refer to beta and gamma isomers, so the CAS number is the most reliable way to confirm the alpha form.

Is Terpineol mainly a solvent or a fragrance material?

It serves both functions depending on the formulation. Its solvency makes it useful in coatings, inks, and cleaners, while its mild lilac-like odor makes it suitable as a fragrance intermediate and aroma chemical.

How is industrial-grade Terpineol normally supplied?

It is supplied as a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid in sealed drums or other industrial liquid containers. Bulk supply and export packaging can usually be arranged according to order volume and logistics.

How should Terpineol be stored?

Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and direct sunlight. Proper sealing is important to reduce evaporation and preserve the quality of the liquid.
