CAS No. 106-36-5 is a chemical designation for Terpinolene, an acyclic monoterpene derived from turpentine oils and is a constituent of some essential oils such as terpinen-4-ol, or terpineol, which offers a unique citrus, herbal aroma. It is an all-natural, biodegradable, low-toxic, non-hazardous and low-viscosity chemical. Terpinolene has a wide variety of industrial applications, including its use as a common raw material in the production of varnishes, paints, adhesives, and print inks. It is also widely used as a Fragrance Ingredient in the cosmetics and toiletries industry, as a flavoring agent in the food industry, and as an active ingredient in pharmaceutical products. Terpinolene's sweet, woody aroma makes it a popular additive in perfumes, shampoos and body washes, as well as in household cleaners and air fresheners. Furthermore, its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties contribute to its use in the preservation of personal care products. Due to its low volatility, Terpinolene has also found application in coating products to reduce smell. Finally, its unique aroma signature has led to its use as a flavor ingredient in the food industry, especially in beverages and tobacco products as well as in the flavoring of confectionary products such as mints and gum.
