This page lists aroma esters Dyna Glycols manufactures from named alcohols and acids: phenylethyl acetate, propionate and butyrate; benzyl propionate; octyl salicylate; ethylene glycol diacetate; isoamyl acetate, propionate and butyrate. They are released against assay, acid value, colour and odour as written on the TDS. These are chemical intermediates for fragrance and flavour compounding.
What perfumery esters are
This page lists aroma esters Dyna Glycols manufactures from named alcohols and acids: phenylethyl acetate, propionate and butyrate; benzyl propionate; octyl salicylate; ethylene glycol diacetate; isoamyl acetate, propionate and butyrate. They are released against assay, acid value, colour and odour as written on the TDS.
These are chemical intermediates for fragrance and flavour compounding. They are not finished fine-fragrance oils and are not an IFRA certificate. Sensory and regulatory status for a compound belongs to the compounding house. Specify assay and residual-acid limits rather than a perfume name.
How Dyna Glycols manufactures perfumery esters
Esterification is run on the same ester plant used for fatty esters, then finished to a tighter odour and colour window when the enquiry is perfumery. Custom carbon cuts and mixed esters are quoted when a catalogue point is close but not exact.
Octyl salicylate is also used as a UV-filter solvent in some suncare briefs. Say whether the duty is aroma or suncare so residual-solvent and odour windows match.
Typical grades in this range
Name the ester. Catalogue points currently listed are below.
- Phenylethyl acetate; phenylethyl propionate; phenylethyl butyrate
- Benzyl propionate
- Octyl salicylate
- Ethylene glycol diacetate
- Isoamyl acetate; isoamyl propionate; isoamyl butyrate
Where perfumery esters are used
Fragrance compounds use these esters as fruity, floral or solvent notes depending on the alcohol/acid pair. Flavour-adjacent compounding uses selected isoamyl and phenylethyl esters where the brief allows — that documentation path must be named; an industrial aroma-ester lot is not automatically a food flavour pack.
Suncare and personal-care formulas may use octyl salicylate as listed on the ester TDS. Confirm INCI and residual limits on the enquiry. Related emollient esters sit on the alkyl benzoate and fatty acid ester pages.
How to specify perfumery esters
Send the ester name, assay minimum, acid value, colour, odour, water and any residual-alcohol or residual-acid tests the receiving lab will run. State fragrance vs flavour vs suncare.
If matching a competitor aroma ester, attach GC assay and the odour note the compounder cares about.
Quality, documents and supply
Lots are released against assay, acid value, colour and appearance. SDS and COA follow verification. Odour must be confirmed by the compounder on the actual concentrate.
Store cool and closed. Protect from hydrolysis. Follow the SDS. Several of these esters are flammable — transport class belongs on the order.
Practical notes on perfumery esters
Isoamyl acetate is not a substitute for phenylethyl acetate. Order by the named ester.
Related pages: fatty acid esters, alkyl benzoates, personal-care chemicals. Request a sample with assay and the intended compound type.
Do not cite this page as a finished perfume or as an IFRA dossier. Those documents are the compounder responsibility.
Ethylene glycol diacetate is a solvent ester, not a floral note. Specify it as a solvent if that is the duty.
English is the source language for assay and odour claims. Machine translation of a note description is not a specification.
Freeze assay and acid value once a trial lot is approved so later drums match the evaluation.
Ordering and evaluating perfumery esters
Send the application, the analytical window and the pack size when you request a laboratory sample of perfumery esters. SDS, TDS and COA follow a short company check. Handle and store the grade as the SDS describes.
