8000-48-4 - Nature

Colorless or light yellow transparent liquid, with a special cooling aroma of eucalyptus flavor and pungent cooling medicine odor, has a certain antiseptic bactericidal effect.  Melting Point -15.4 °c.   Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol and oil.

8000-48-4 - Preparation Method

The tender leaves of eucalyptus globulus or other eucalyptus trees were collected, and the oil was extracted by steam distillation.   Can be divided into two kinds of atmospheric pressure method and pressure method.   The atmospheric pressure method is to add a cooking pot to the lower part of the oil drum, and steam is directly generated from the pot to achieve the purpose of distilling eucalyptus oil.   The pressurized method is to supply steam from an industrial boiler, and the inlet pressure is 0.2~0.   4MPa, the internal pressure of 0.05MPa.

8000-48-4 - Use

Eucalyptus oil is one of the world's largest production of essential oils, according to the use can be divided into medical oil, industrial oil and perfume oil three.   Eucalyptus oil is mainly used in medicine, health products, such as toothpaste, tooth powder, powder, medical soap, chewing gum, Cough syrup, cooling oil, fan cream, etc.   It is also used in a small amount in the preparation of certain daily chemical products.   Can also be used for flotation of mineral sand, as well as detergent additives and fungicides.
