WS-23 Cooling Agent Powder

Product Overview

WS-23 is a high-purity synthetic cooling agent renowned for delivering a clean, intense cooling sensation without the minty aroma or flavor associated with traditional menthol. Its unique sensory profile provides an instant, front-loaded cooling effect that is primarily perceived on the front of the tongue and the roof of the mouth. This characteristic makes it an exceptionally versatile ingredient in a wide range of applications, including e-liquids, beverages, confectionery, and oral care, where a pure cooling experience is desired without altering the product’s core flavor profile. As a superior alternative to menthol and other cooling agents, WS-23 offers formulators precise control over the sensory experience.

Unique Advantages:

• High Purity (≥ 99% by GC): Ensures a clean taste profile, free from off-notes and impurities.
• Strong, Front-Loaded Cooling Impact: Delivers a powerful cooling sensation without bitterness or a burning feeling.
• Excellent Solubility: Highly soluble in common solvents like Propylene Glycol (PG) and ethanol, simplifying the formulation process.
• High Stability: Thermally stable and maintains its cooling effect across various processing conditions and pH levels.
• Direct from Manufacturer: Available directly from the manufacturer for consistent quality, full traceability, and a reliable supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the main difference between WS-23, WS-5, and Menthol?

A: WS-23 offers a strong, immediate cooling effect at the front of the mouth. WS-5 provides a colder, more lingering effect that is felt in the back of the mouth and throat. Menthol has a distinct minty aroma and flavor, which WS-23 and WS-5 lack.

Q2: How do I dissolve WS-23 powder for my formulation?

A: WS-23 dissolves readily in Propylene Glycol (PG). A common and effective method is to create a 10% or 20% stock solution. To do this, slowly add the WS-23 powder to PG while stirring. Gentle warming (to around 40°C) can accelerate dissolution. This stock solution can then be easily and accurately dosed into your final product.

Q3: Do you supply directly from the factory?

A: Yes, we are the original manufacturer and a global supplier of high-purity WS-23. This direct relationship ensures full traceability, a stable supply chain, and competitive pricing.
