Description
Terpinolene (CAS 586-62-9, EC 209-578-0, C10H16) is a naturally occurring monocyclic monoterpene found in conifers, sage, and various citrus plants. It is commercially known under names including Nofmer TP and carries the FEMA designation 3046. No E-code applies to this substance.
In fragrance formulations, terpinolene contributes fresh, piney, and woody top notes and functions as a carrier solvent that improves the diffusion of heavier aromatic compounds. In printing and packaging applications, it serves as a bio-based solvent that aids ink dispersion and reduces reliance on petroleum-derived carriers. Food-grade material is used as a flavoring agent under FEMA 3046 status.
Terpinolene is supplied as a clear liquid in food-grade and technical grades, with food-grade material conforming to FEMA and FCC standards. The substance is registered under REACH. Typical packaging includes drums and intermediate bulk containers, with documentation available to support regulatory submissions.
