Vetiverol

About Vetiverol

Vetiverol is an alcohol building block carrying the CAS registry number 68129-81-7. Its molecular formula is C15H24O and its molecular weight is 220.35 g/mol. Its systematic (IUPAC) name is 4,8-dimethyl-2-propan-2-ylidene-3,3a,4,5,6,8a-hexahydro-1H-azulen-6-ol. Alternative names: Vetyvenol and Vetivol.

It is supplied as a liquid. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Warning”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

It is commonly used for cosmetics and personal care and organic synthesis. It is used across pharmaceutical manufacturing, academic and industrial research and cosmetics and personal care.

Standard pack sizes are 500 g and 5 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide. SDS and detailed specification sheets can be requested with your quotation.
