Benzyl benzoate is a colorless or pale yellow viscous transparent liquid in the standard conditions. In the following 17 ¡ãC, it becomes white. Benzyl benzoate of high-purity would have faint scent of flowers under long-term storage. Benzyl benzoate does not dissolve in water, but insoluble in organic solvents. Benzyl benzoate is a good high-temperature solvent in itself. And Benzyl benzoate is the only solvent of Musk. Benzyl benzoate has applications for pharmacy and perfume industry just because of its characters that low volatilization of solvent and relative stability of ester. Benzyl benzoate is mainly used in Textile auxiliary, flavor spice, pharmacy, and plasticizer. Benzyl benzoate is used as lead agent, leveler and repair agent in textile auxiliaries.

Mechanism: with the continuous development of the textile industry, cloth has been more and more high-grade. But the more high-grade cloth is, the more compact fabric is. So in dyeing, difficulty of coloring and uniformity is relatively larger. Benzyl benzoate has good plasticity performance. So Benzyl benzoate swells and draws away fiber to facilitate dye. At the same time, benzyl benzoate is a good solvent to dissolve easily and disperse dye evenly as well, which makes its evenly dyeing and migration property very excellent to dye fiber. Similar properties of materials to benzyl benzoate are methylnaphthalene, dimethylnaphthalene, methyl salicylate, benzene ester. Benzyl benzoate is precisely because of its better overall performance. Benzyl benzoate has more and more wide application in textile auxiliary.
