Applications — GCC, Africa & Beyond

  • Solvent and reactive diluent in epoxy curing agent formulations — used with RAYCURE hardener systems
  • Solvent in paint stripper, ink, lacquers, and waterborne coatings applications across UAE and Saudi Arabia
  • Chemical intermediate for pharmaceuticals, esters used in cosmetics and preservatives
  • Used in flavouring and fragrance agents for manufacturing soaps, perfumes, and flavour industries in Dubai
  • Pharmaceutical preservative in injectable formulations and topical products (pharmaceutical grade)
  • Solvent in printing inks and packaging adhesives for UAE packaging industry
  • Personal care and cosmetics — preservative at ≤ 1% per EU Cosmetics Regulation
  • Hair colour formulations for professional salon use across GCC

Key Properties

  • High purity ≥ 99.50% (Technical Grade)
  • Very low aldehyde content — important for colour-sensitive applications
  • FFC test negative for chlorinated compounds
  • Low APHA colour (≤ 15) — suitable for colour-critical formulations
  • Partially water-soluble — bridges aqueous and organic phases
  • Flash point 93°C — combustible liquid (simpler storage than low-flash solvents)
  • Boiling point 204–206°C — very low volatility, slow evaporation
  • Compatible with RAYCURE epoxy hardener systems as co-solvent/reactive component

Usage & Recommendations

In epoxy systems: use at 2–5% as reactive diluent/co-solvent to reduce viscosity and extend pot-life. Compatible with RAYCURE 915, 925, 940, and 960 polyamide hardeners. As a preservative in cosmetics: use at ≤ 1.0% in compliance with UAE/GCC cosmetics regulations. For pharmaceutical use, pharmaceutical grade (BP/USP) is required — contact Raykem for pharmaceutical grade availability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Benzyl alcohol is used at 2–5% as a reactive solvent and viscosity reducer in epoxy curing agent formulations. It participates in the cure reaction (unlike inert solvents) and extends pot-life of polyamide and aliphatic amine hardener systems — critical in GCC summer conditions where short pot-life is a major application challenge. It is also used as a co-solvent in RAYCURE polyamide hardener dilution.

Yes. Raykem exports benzyl alcohol (CAS 100-51-6, 99.5% purity) to East and West Africa via Jebel Ali — Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Tanzania, and Ethiopia are key markets.
