Benzyl Benzoate

Benzyl benzoate (C14H12O2) is a versatile aromatic ester used across fragrance, pharmaceutical and industrial applications. In perfumery it is a fixative and solvent that holds and blends fragrance notes; in pharmaceuticals and veterinary medicine it is the active ingredient in topical treatments for scabies and lice; and industrially it serves as a plasticiser and a synthesis intermediate. Its low volatility, good solvency for fragrance materials and musks, and mild balsamic odour make it a staple perfumery fixative, while its acaricidal action underpins its medical use. It is supplied as technical, cosmetic and pharmaceutical (USP/BP) grades distinguished by purity and odour. Industrial buyers sourcing Benzyl Benzoate in bulk also track benzyl benzoate pricing closely, since it feeds directly into their downstream costs - which is why working with an established benzyl benzoate supplier and distributor like Elchemy matters.

Manufacturing Process of Benzyl Benzoate

Benzyl benzoate is produced by esterification - typically the reaction of benzoic acid (or benzoyl chloride) with benzyl alcohol under acid catalysis, or by the Claisen-Tishchenko condensation of benzaldehyde catalysed by sodium benzylate. The crude ester is neutralised, washed and purified by vacuum distillation to pharmaceutical/fragrance quality, with acidity, benzaldehyde and assay controlled as the key parameters. As a quality-focused benzyl benzoate manufacturer and sourcing partner, Elchemy tests every shipment for assay, acidity, benzaldehyde and refractive index before dispatch, with a Certificate of Analysis travelling alongside each order.

Benzyl Benzoate Price & Benzyl benzoate manufacturer: Bulk Pricing Guide

If you are comparing benzyl benzoate manufacturers for bulk procurement, Elchemy provides quotes based on your exact requirements. Share your volume, grade, destination and packaging on the quote form and our team reverts with a detailed offer within 24 to 48 hours. Pricing is quoted rather than published because the cost is driven by the price of benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid feedstock and the aromatics/petrochemical cycle, not a fixed list. This is why a live quote from a benzyl benzoate supplier is always more accurate than any headline figure. Beyond that, several factors shape the final benzyl benzoate price: grade, committed volume, origin country, packaging format, freight, Incoterm (FOB, CIF or DDP) and import duty (HTS 2916.31 for US-bound shipments). For an approximate read on where the market sits, procurement teams often reference benzyl alcohol / toluene aromatic price indices. Trade publications also report the benzyl benzoate price per kg as a unit-level benchmark, useful for spotting short-term regional shifts. At bulk procurement scale, the benzyl benzoate price per ton (or per MT) is the most relevant commercial unit, since contracts are negotiated at that level. For an exact rate, none of these replaces a direct quote. Your final price depends on contract structure, destination, volume and timing - so a quote from our team is always the most accurate number for your procurement.

Packaging & Logistics for Bulk Benzyl Benzoate

Benzyl Benzoate ships in standard export packaging - bags, drums, IBCs or bulk as the material requires - with both metric and imperial weights, supplied to your specification. A typical 20' container holds a full commercial load depending on packaging. For US, UK and UAE buyers, Elchemy arranges compliant freight and customs documentation, offering EXW, FOB, CIF and DDP terms. Transit times and stock position are confirmed at quotation, and samples are dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Store per the conditions on the TDS.

From the USA and UK to the UAE and beyond, Elchemy serves as a single benzyl benzoate supplier, manufacturer and distributor relationship - with samples before bulk and pricing tailored to your volume and contract terms.

Safety & Handling

Classified under GHS as Aquatic Acute/Chronic (H400/H411) and mild Skin/Eye Irritant. Generally not DOT-restricted; confirm the SDS. Benzyl benzoate is well established in medicines and cosmetics but has several considerations. It is a declarable fragrance allergen requiring EU/UK labelling above threshold, and can cause skin and eye irritation - the 25% medical lotion commonly causes transient stinging and burning on application. It should not be used on very young infants except under medical direction. It is an aquatic toxicant, so discharge to waterways should be avoided. It is combustible only at high temperature (flash point 148 °C). Handle with gloves and eye protection. The full 16-section GHS-aligned SDS is available alongside every Benzyl Benzoate order.
