Usage
Use (Hekserij)
Hexyl acetate has a fruity scent reminiscent of apple, pear, but also banana.
The smell is not particularly strong, undiluted use is common. Typical use is in
fruit accords. You usually use between 0,1% and 5% of this substance in the
fragrance composition, but you can go up to 15 or 20%. It combines well with
other fruity scents, as well as with the scent of moss, resins and conifers. It
is mainly a top note in perfumes and is stable in most products, it can also be
used in soap.
Keep cool, dry, dark and out of reach of children.
Physical properties
Properties (Hekserij)
Hexyl acetate is a colourless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature. The
purity is at least 98%. The substance has a fairly long shelf life and occurs in
nature, but the synthetic version is used as fragrance material. In theory, it
can be made completely renewable, but in practice the raw materials usually come
from fossil sources.
