Application & Uses

  • Pharmaceutical Sector:
    • A significant pharmaceutical ingredient, used in traditional Chinese medicine and modern pharmacology, possessing analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties.
    • Capable of enhancing drug absorption, particularly across the blood-brain barrier, improving the efficacy of certain medications.
    • Research suggests potential benefits for anxiety relief, heart health, and neurological well-being.
  • Flavours & Fragrances:
    • A distinctive aroma chemical used to formulate peppermint, white lemon, nut, camphor, pine, herbal, and lavender notes. Widely applied in perfumes, colognes, incense, and various food flavourings, such as chewing gum, ice cream, and candy.
  • Natural Insect Repellent:
    • Acts as a natural insect repellent, effective against mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas.
  • Preservative:
    • Exhibits antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for use as a preservative to extend product shelf life, particularly in food and personal care products.
  • Other Applications:
    • Found in personal care products (e.g., skin and hair care for cooling effects), household products (cleaners, air fresheners), and tobacco products, among others.

Features & Benefits

  • Superior Cost-Effectiveness & Stable Supply: Derived from readily available alpha-pinene, synthetic borneol offers significant cost reductions and assures a reliably stable supply, effectively avoiding the price volatility and supply uncertainty of natural borneol.
  • Consistent High Purity & Quality: The precise manufacturing process guarantees superior and consistent purity across all batches, presenting a key advantage over natural extracts.

    • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, and protect from light.
    • Avoid high temperatures to maintain product stability and prevent sublimation or degradation.
  • Container Management & Prevention:
    • Ensure containers are tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization, and clearly labelled.
  • Hazard Isolation:
    • Keep storage areas away from heat, sparks, open flames, and all sources of ignition.
    • Store Borneol (as a flammable solid) in a separate safety storage cabinet or room.
    • Keep away from incompatible materials to prevent hazardous reactions.
  • Safe Handling & Inspection:
    • Handle carefully, and stack stably.
    • After prolonged storage, always check quality before use, for example, its appearance, odour, or solubility.
  • Compliance & Emergency Preparedness:
    • Strictly comply with all safety regulations, especially those pertaining to flammable solids storage.
    • Ensure emergency plans are in place for unforeseen circumstances (e.g., fire).
