  • Applications

    Totarol (CAS 511-15-9) is a natural diterpenoid phenol with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties. Its practical applications are primarily in wood preservation and surface coatings, where it acts as a wood-protective and antioxidant additive for coatings and polymer-based materials. It is also evaluated as an antimicrobial and antioxidant additive in cosmetics and personal care formulations, and it is being researched for packaging materials and coating systems intended for food-contact substrates, depending on regulatory requirements and formulation constraints.
