Description

Opaque white crystals; Minty, herbaceous, Eucalyptus-like aroma


P-menthane-3,8-diol is a p-menthane monoterpenoid in which p-menthane carries hydroxy groups at C-3 and C-8. It derives from a hydride of a p-menthane.


p-Menthane-3,8-diol, also known as para-menthane-3,8-diol, PMD, or menthoglycol, is an active ingredient used in insect repellents. It smells similar to menthol and has a cooling feel. There are eight possible isomers of p-Menthane-3,8-diol, and the exact composition is rarely specified and is commonly assumed to be a complex mixture.Refined OLE contains approximately 64% p-Menthane-3,8-diol (a mixture of the cis and trans isomers of p-menthane-3,8-diol). OLE has been notified under the European Biocidal Products Directive (BPD) 98/8/EC (now BPR Regulation (EU) No. 528/212) under its generic name "p-Menthane-3,8-diol rich botanic oil" and is currently proceeding through the registration process with the Health and Safety Executive in the UK. It is also registered with Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency under the generic name "p-Menthane-3,8-diol and related oil of lemon eucalyptus compounds".


p-Menthane-3,8-diol has a faint minty, herbaceous, eucalyptus-like odor. The cooling power is reported to be approxi mately 9.5 times that of (-)-menthol.
