Acts as a top note, so blend with citrus, fruity esters or green notes to enhance freshness and diffusion. Add during the initial oil blending phase, before dilution with alcohol, to ensure uniform distribution. Use antioxidants or proper storage, as it is volatile and can degrade with light and heat over time.

Iso amyl acetate - also called isoamyl acetate, isopentyl acetate, or by its common name banana oil - is the ester of isoamyl alcohol and acetic acid (CAS 123-92-2, formula C₇H₁₄O₂, molecular weight 130.18). It is a colourless, flammable liquid best known for its intense sweet, fruity, banana-like aroma, which is why it is the reference 'banana scent' chemical in flavour and fragrance work; it also occurs naturally in ripe bananas and pears.
As a volatile ester it boils at about 142 °C, is only slightly soluble in water but fully miscible with alcohols and oils, and delivers a bright top note at very low dose. Those properties make it one of the most widely used fruity esters across three areas: flavours (banana, pear and fruit notes in confectionery, baked goods and beverages, FEMA 2055), fragrances (perfumes, body sprays, air fresheners and household products) and as a solvent or carrier in lacquers, nail products and coatings.
Elchemy is a trusted iso amyl acetate supplier and distributor, offering high-purity (≥99%) technical, fragrance and food or flavour grades to buyers in 40+ countries, each with a Certificate of Analysis and samples within 24–48 hours. It belongs to a family of fruity isoamyl esters - including iso amyl butyrate and iso amyl phenyl acetate - that formulators blend for layered fruit accords.
Iso amyl acetate is produced by Fischer esterification of isoamyl alcohol with acetic acid under acid catalysis. The crude ester is neutralised, washed and distilled to ≥99% purity, giving a colourless liquid with the characteristic banana aroma.
Key raw materials are isoamyl alcohol, acetic acid and an acid catalyst. Every batch Elchemy supplies is tested for assay, ester content, acid value and refractive index, with a Certificate of Analysis per order.
If you're looking for current iso amyl acetate pricing for bulk procurement, Elchemy provides quotes based on your requirements. Share your grade, purity, volume and destination and get a sample or quote within 24–48 hours.
Pricing is quote-based because the iso amyl acetate price moves with isoamyl-alcohol and acetic-acid feedstock, grade (technical, fragrance, food/FEMA), purity, order volume, packaging, Incoterm and destination.
Buyers benchmark the price per kg for small lots and the per-drum or per-MT rate for contracts - but a direct quote is the definitive number.
Iso amyl acetate ships in 180–190 kg HDPE or steel drums and IBC totes, or smaller cans for sampling, supplied to buyer requirements. As a flammable liquid it is packed, labelled and transported under the applicable dangerous-goods rules (UN 1104, Class 3).
For US-bound orders, domestic stock supports faster fulfilment. Material from other origin countries typically transits 24–28 days to the US East Coast and 18–22 days to the West Coast, on FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated, flame-proof area away from heat, sparks, oxidisers and direct sunlight. Protect from prolonged light and heat to preserve aroma.
Elchemy makes iso amyl acetate procurement straightforward - technical, fragrance and food or flavour grades from audited manufacturers, with tailored options via custom manufacturing.
Iso amyl acetate is a flammable liquid (flash point ~25 °C, GHS Flammable Liquid Category 3). Keep away from heat, sparks and open flame, ground containers during transfer, and store in a ventilated, flame-proof area. High vapour concentrations may cause drowsiness, dizziness and mild eye or respiratory irritation.
Handlers should wear chemical-resistant gloves and safety goggles and work with adequate ventilation. In case of contact, flush with water; if inhaled, move to fresh air. A full 16-section GHS-aligned SDS ships with material orders.
