Benzaldehyde USP Grade
Pharmaceutical-grade benzaldehyde meeting USP standards, a pure cyclic aldehyde used primarily as a flavoring agent and chemical intermediate. It falls under HTS 2912.21.00.00 as benzaldehyde, a separate chemically defined organic compound without other oxygen functions beyond the aldehyde group. This classification applies to its high-purity form for regulated uses like food and pharma.
Industrial Benzaldehyde 99% Pure
High-purity (99%) benzaldehyde for chemical synthesis and fragrance production, a volatile cyclic aldehyde with characteristic almond odor. Classified under HTS 2912.21.00.00 as pure benzaldehyde per chapter note 1(a), without impurities affecting its chemical definition. Used in perfumery and polymer manufacturing.
Benzaldehyde FCC Grade
Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) grade benzaldehyde, approved for direct food use as almond flavoring in beverages and confectionery. HTS 2912.21.00.00 covers this chemically defined cyclic aldehyde without other oxygen functions, meeting chapter purity standards. Essential for FDA-compliant flavor applications.
Technical Grade Benzaldehyde
Technical-grade benzaldehyde (95-98% purity) for industrial dyes and pharmaceuticals synthesis, a key precursor chemical. Falls under HTS 2912.21.00.00 as per chapter note 1(a) for chemically defined organic compounds with allowable impurities. Widely used in agrochemical production.
