Specialty chemicals company LANXESS, is presenting its comprehensive portfolio of flavor and fragrance applications at XXVI FAFAI International Convention & Expo in New Delhi.

At the exhibition, LANXESS displays its new grades of Kalama benzyl benzoate, including the Ultrapure Scopeblue variant, which is ISCC PLUS certified and offers a reduced carbon footprint. In addition, the business unit will exhibit a wide range of aroma ingredients, including Kalama Florosol, a rich lily-of-the-valley note with rose and lilac nuances, ideal for fine fragrances, personal care & home applications.

Another highlight is Kalama Azuril, a powerful, citrus-ozone-linen fragrance that provides long-lasting freshness across floral, citrus, and marine compositions.

Benzyl benzoate grades from LANXESS are used in various applications from flavors and fragrances to pharmaceuticals and textiles. Their high molecular weight and nearly odorless nature make them the fixative of choice.

LANXESS offers different quality grades. This makes it possible to select the most suitable option for specific applications. “Regular” grade is appropriate for industrial applications, “Performance” when a standard odor profile is required and “Ultrapure” for applications where an excellent odor profile and a very high purity are desired.

The new Ultrapure grade takes olfactory performance, purity and sustainability to the next level. It is the benzyl benzoate of choice for products like deodorants, candles and as a solvent for fragrances such as artificial musk. This can reduce costs, as it is not necessary to mask the typical sweet balsamic note of benzyl benzoate. The “Ultrapure Scopeblue” variant will be showcased for the first time and is the particularly sustainable version of the Ultrapure grade, based on renewable mass balance feedstock (ISCC PLUS certified) and reduced product carbon footprint.

Speaking at the event, Anand Karaka, Senior Sales Director, Head of Sales APAC - Business Unit Flavors & Fragrances, LANXESS India, said, “We are delighted to participate once again in the FAFAI International Convention & Expo. At LANXESS, we prioritize sustainability and innovation in the development of our products. By combining our technical and regulatory expertise with environmentally responsible solutions, we strive to provide the industry with high-performance and sustainable formulations. FAFAI 2025 presents an excellent opportunity for us to engage with our customers and showcase our latest advancements in aroma chemicals and fragrance solutions.”
