About Valeric acid, 99%

Valeric acid is an aroma chemical in Synthesis grade carrying the CAS registry number 109-52-4 with a typical assay of 99%. With the molecular formula C5H10O2, it has a molar mass of 102.13 g/mol. The IUPAC name is pentanoic acid. It is also known as n-Valeric acid or n-Pentanoic acid.

The material typically appears as a colourless liquid. Key physical data: a density of 0.930 g/cm3. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. Under GHS it is labelled “Danger”, so handle it with suitable PPE and consult the SDS.

It is commonly used for flavour formulation, fragrance compounding, aroma research and organic synthesis. Buyers come mainly from food and beverage processing, cosmetics and personal care and oil, gas and petrochemicals.

Standard pack sizes are 500 mL, 5 L and 200 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
