Methyl Atrarate CAS 4707-47-5
Methyl Atrarate for Industrial Fragrance Production
Methyl atrarate is a single aroma chemical used in fine and functional fragrance compounds. Its principal role is to introduce an oakmoss-like facet into a perfume composition. Commercial uses include perfume concentrates and fragrance blends for soaps, shampoos, detergents, fabric conditioners and candles.
The material is a crystalline powder at ambient temperature. It is soluble in ethanol and insoluble in water, making solvent selection relevant to liquid fragrance production. Alcoholic perfumes, surfactant-based products and wax systems incorporate the ingredient through their respective fragrance phases.
Unilong supplies commercial manufacturing and distribution customers. The packaging format listed for this product is 25 kg per drum.

Scent Character and Perfumery Role
The mossy note is accompanied by soft woodiness, earthy depth and a phenolic nuance. This profile gives methyl atrarate a defined place in chypre and woody fragrance compositions. It is also used with wood and musk materials to build the underlying character of a perfume.
It is used as a mossy component within a complete perfume concentrate. The proportion of methyl atrarate and its combination with the other aroma chemicals determine its prominence in the fragrance.
Applications
Fine Fragrances and Perfume Concentrates
Methyl atrarate is used in chypre and woody perfume concentrates as a mossy base ingredient. It adds an earthy aspect alongside the softer wood notes in the composition. Woods and musks are relevant blending partners for this fragrance direction. In alcoholic perfumes, incorporation depends on dissolution in the selected perfume solvent.
Soap, Shampoo and Personal-Care Fragrances
This material is used in soap and shampoo perfumes to introduce a mossy-woody background. It is incorporated as part of the fragrance compound added to the personal-care base. The finished product's surfactants and fragrance delivery system affect its distribution and appearance. Relevant formulation considerations include fragrance clarity, the balance of the scent and its behaviour during storage.
Detergent and Fabric-Care Fragrances
Methyl atrarate contributes to fragrance compositions for detergents and fabric conditioners. Its role is the mossy-woody part of the perfume accord. The scent perceived in the packaged product can differ from that on fabric after use. Fragrance concentration and the laundry-product base influence that application profile.
Candles and Scented Wax Products
Methyl atrarate is included in candle perfumes where earthy and mossy notes form part of the intended scent. It is blended with the other fragrance ingredients before incorporation into the selected wax system. Wax composition and fragrance loading affect incorporation and release. The finished candle's scent during storage and use depends on the complete wax, fragrance and wick combination.
Solubility and Incorporation
Ethanol solubility provides a route for incorporating the crystalline material into alcoholic perfume concentrates. The concentration achievable in a particular formula depends on the complete solvent mixture and temperature. Water dilution changes that solvent environment and may affect clarity.
For aqueous personal-care and household products, incorporation takes place through the perfume blend and the chosen solubilisation or dispersion system. The ingredient's water insolubility remains relevant even when the full fragrance compound can be distributed through a surfactant base.
Packaging and Storage
Methyl atrarate is listed in 25 kg drums for commercial supply.
Store the material in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place protected from light. Close containers after withdrawal and protect the powder from contamination. Warehouse temperature, expiry or retest information follows the instructions supplied with the product.
