  • Applications

    p-Menthan-4-ol (CAS 470-65-5) is a monoterpene alcohol with a minty, herbal aroma, primarily used as a fragrance ingredient in the perfumery and cosmetics industries; it is also considered an intermediate in terpenoid synthesis, enabling the production of menthol-derived compounds. It may be used as an aroma component in flavor applications and in household personal care products (fragranced cleaning and maintenance products). In industrial manufacturing, p-menthan-4-ol can serve as a building block for more complex terpene derivatives; its specific use depends on local regulations and formulation limits.
