Menthol Crystal & Peppermint 
We
offer quality menthol, which is a covalent organic compound that is made
synthetically or obtained from peppermint or other mint oils. In physical
state, it is a waxy, crystalline substance, clear or white in color.
We produce menthol by extraction from menthol oil. During the process, the
oil is chilled to a temperature of -40°C to separate the menthol, which
is in later stages crystallized by slow cooling. These crystals conform to
IP/BP/USP/JP/FCC-III standards and are available in two grades viz.
- Small menthol Crystals
- Large Menthol Crystals
|
We also supply Menthol Terpeneless
Crystals that are made by the fractional distillation of menthol oil. The
distilled oil yields high purity menthol as a fraction, which is gradually
cooled and crystallized. These crystals are conform to IP / BP / USP / JP /
FCC-III standards.
The range of products also include - Menthol Flakes and Crude Mentha Oil.
Our offering in peppermint includes peppermint oil (Derivative of Mentha
oil rectified and distilled as per customer's requirement), Tri-Rectified
Peppermint Oil (T.P.O.) and De-Mentholised Peppermint Oil (Derivative of
Mentha oil in crude form).
Designed using quality materials and sophisticated production technique,
these products are superior in quality and have found different usages and
applications in textiles, paper, plastic, petroleum and more. We offer these
products at most competitive prices.
