Request a Bulk Quote →Buyer FAQ — Procurement Questions on Thymol Crystals
What pharmacopoeia grades do you offer for Thymol Crystals?
USP, BP, Ph.Eur, FCC + IP grades all available on confirmation. Default supply is USP-grade with ≥99% GC assay. Pharmacopoeia-compliant COA referencing the specific monograph ships with every pharma-bound lot.
Synthetic vs ex-Ajwain Thymol — which to specify?
Synthetic-route Thymol (from thymolanthranilate or m-cresol routes) is the pharma + oral-care default at competitive pricing. Ex-Ajwain Thymol (natural-origin from Trachyspermum ammi) carries a premium and is positioned for ayurveda + natural-positioning finished products. Confirm at PI stage.
What’s the melting point + how do I handle Thymol Crystals?
Melting point: 49–51°C. Standard handling: melt in jacketed kettle at 55-60°C before incorporation into oral-care or pharma formulations. Liquid Thymol (pre-dissolved in ethanol/PG/glycerine) is an alternative for facilities without melt-handling capability.
Heavy-metals + residual-solvent panel?
Standard on every pharmacopoeia-grade lot. Lead <2 ppm, arsenic <1 ppm, mercury <0.1 ppm, cadmium <0.5 ppm. Residual solvents within ICH Q3C Class 2 limits. Full third-party NABL panel attached to the lot COA.
Mouthwash + toothpaste master-batch — typical use percentage?
Mouthwash: 0.05-0.1% (Listerine-style essential-oil mouthwash blend). Toothpaste: 0.1-0.3% combined with menthol and eucalyptol. Antiseptic vapor-rub: 0.5-2%. Always verify against your finished-product regulatory framework.
Retain-sample policy for pharma audit?
36-month retain sample policy. Every production lot has a labeled retain-sample held under climate-controlled conditions, with retain-sample reference on the COA. Audit-traceable for buyer-side regulatory review.
Minimum order?
1 kg fiber drum sample → 5 kg pilot → 25 kg HDPE / fiber drum → 180 kg drum → FCL.
