Solubility: Benzyl benzoate is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. Benzyl benzoate itself,a high-temperature solvent, is the only solvent of Musk. Benzyl benzoate has applications to pharmacy and perfume industry just because of its characters of low volatilization and relative stability.
Applications: Benzyl benzoate is mainly used in the area of textile auxiliary, fragrance and flavor, pharmacy, plasticizer and so on. Benzyl benzoate can be used to lead agent, leveling agent and repair agent of textile auxiliaries. Mechanism: With the development of the textile industry, the materials are of higher-grade.The higher-grade cloth is, the more compact fabric is. So in dyeing, there are more difficulties in coloring and uniformity Due to the good plasticity performance, benzyl benzoate makes the fiber swell and undraw so that the fiber will be dyed easily. At the same time, benzyl benzoate is a good solvent to dissolve and disperse dye evenly. Since its quite good dye migration performance, benzyl benzoate could be developed as leveling agents and lead agent.There are many other materials, which have similar properties with benzyl benzoate, such as methylnaphthalene, dimethylnaphthalene, methyl salicylate, and benzene ester.
