Applications
Benzyl alcohol is a good middle boiling point solvent. The main applications:
paint solvent; ink solvent; plexiglass solvent; photographic developing agent; PVC stabilizer; medicine, synthetic resin solvent; ointment or liquid medicine; solvent for meat products stamp-pad ink and ball-point pen oil.
carpet degreaser; crater cleaning agent; silicone solvent stabilizer; benzyl ester or ether intermediate.
Benzyl alcohol is a kind of very useful perfume fixative. It is an indispensable spice when jasmine, tuberose or ylang is mixed, and used to compound soap and daily cosmetics.
