Description
β-Linalool (CAS 78-70-6), also known as linalol, dl-Linalool, or (±)-Linalool, is a naturally occurring acyclic monoterpene alcohol found in many flowering plants and spice crops. It carries EC number 201-134-4 and is classified under HS code 29052210. No E-code designation applies to this substance.
In personal care and fragrance formulations, β-Linalool contributes floral-woody scent character and functions as a solvent carrier for active ingredients. In coatings and adhesive systems, it acts as a reactive crosslinker, participating in curing reactions that build polymer network density. Food and flavour manufacturers use it as a flavouring agent at controlled concentrations to replicate citrus and herbal profiles.
β-Linalool is supplied as a liquid and is available in fragrance-grade and food-grade specifications aligned with FCC and REACH compliance requirements. Procurement teams should confirm grade suitability against their application, as purity thresholds differ between food, cosmetic, and industrial end uses.
