Description
Amyl salicylate (CAS 2050-08-0, EC 218-080-2) is an ester derived from salicylic acid and amyl alcohol, also known as pentyl salicylate or n-amyl salicylate. It carries no assigned E-code and is referenced in chemical literature under NSC identifiers 46125, 44877, and 403668.
In personal care and cosmetics formulations, amyl salicylate functions as a fragrance ingredient, contributing a characteristic floral, orchid-like scent profile to finished products. In coatings and printing applications, it acts as a solvent and carrier, improving resin solubility and aiding ink dispersion across substrates.
Amyl salicylate is supplied as an oil-phase ingredient and is subject to REACH registration requirements for commercial quantities within the EU. Procurement teams should confirm supplier compliance documentation, including Safety Data Sheets and purity specifications, prior to sourcing. Standard packaging formats vary by supplier volume tier.
