P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- PMD
P MENTHANE 3 8 DIOL supplier Malaysia for commercial formulators, personal-care developers and laboratories. P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL, commonly abbreviated PMD, is purchased as a defined chemical raw material and must remain distinct from menthol, citronellal and formulated repellent products.
Technical PMD may be specified as a declared isomer mixture, while a higher-purity grade may require tighter limits for total content, individual isomers and related substances. Buyers should compare grades on the same analytical basis and state any colour, physical-form or handling requirements.
PMD can be evaluated as a formulation input for household, outdoor, personal-care and other specialty products. Raw-material identity does not establish dosage, compatibility, stability or finished-product performance, and no efficacy result is claimed for a formulation.
Send the required technical or higher-purity grade, content and isomer-profile basis, application, quantity and delivery location for a quotation. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed for the quoted requirement. Supply is subject to applicable requirements.

- CAS number
- 42822-86-6
- Grade
- technical isomer-mixture grade, higher-purity grade
- Appearance
- colourless to white crystalline or waxy solid, depending on grade and temperature
P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technical PMD isomer-mixture grade | crystalline or waxy solid | — | Commercial formulation work where p-menthane-3,8-diol identity, total-content basis, isomer profile, colour and handling characteristics are agreed as part of the raw-material specification. | Compatible closed packing and supporting documents are confirmed with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL | refined crystalline solid | — | Analytical, development and controlled-formulation work requiring a tighter PMD purity basis, declared isomer profile, related-substance limits and application-specific quality requirements. | Suitable light-protective packing and documentation are confirmed for the quoted grade. |

Common questions about P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL
What does PMD mean in a raw-material specification?
PMD is the common abbreviation for p-menthane-3,8-diol. A purchasing specification should still state the full chemical identity, CAS number, total-content basis and required isomer profile.
Is P-MENTHANE-3,8-DIOL the same as menthol?
No. PMD and menthol are different chemical identities with different specifications. Menthol crystals should not be supplied or evaluated as a grade of p-menthane-3,8-diol.
Is citronellal another name for PMD?
No. Citronellal is a separate chemical and is not a PMD alias. Buyers should use the full p-menthane-3,8-diol identity and CAS number to avoid substitution.
How do technical and higher-purity PMD grades differ?
They may differ in total PMD content basis, individual isomer profile, related-substance limits, colour and physical characteristics. Compare grades on the same declared analytical basis.
Is a formulated insect-repellent product the same as PMD raw material?
No. PMD is one defined raw-material identity. A finished or intermediate repellent formulation contains its own carriers and other ingredients and must be specified by complete composition and product requirements.
Does this page guarantee a finished-product efficacy level?
No. Raw-material identity and quality do not establish a finished product's performance. Formulators must assess concentration, compatibility, stability and performance in the complete formulation.
What details are needed for a PMD quotation in Malaysia?
Send the required grade, total-content and isomer-profile specification, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention packing and document needs so they can be confirmed with the quotation.
