Products Description of Benzyl Alcohol CAS#100-51-6
Benzyl alcohol (CAS# 100-51-6) is a simple aromatic alcohol compound. At room temperature, it is a colorless, transparent liquid. The pure substance has a mild, pleasant fragrance somewhat reminiscent of hyacinth. Due to the presence of impurities, industrial-grade products may exhibit a bitter almond-like odor or a pungent smell.

Product Application of Benzyl Alcohol CAS#100-51-6
Benzyl alcohol is widely used as a solvent, for instance, in the dielectrophoretic alignment and reconfiguration of nanowires, as well as in inks, paints, lacquers, and epoxy resin coatings. It also serves as a precursor for various esters used in the production of soaps, perfumes, and flavoring agents.
In medical applications, benzyl alcohol acts as a local anesthetic, helping to alleviate pain associated with lidocaine injections. It is also used in a variety of personal care and consumer products, including baby products, bath products, soaps, detergents, eye makeup, blushers, cleaning products, and cosmetics, as well as in hair, nail, and skin care formulations.
