Cooling Agent WS-12 – Maximum Intensity, Throat-Focused Cooling
CAS: 68489-09-8 – FEMA: 4681
The strongest of the WS series, engineered for throat cooling and 200C process stability.
Product Overview
WS-12 delivers the highest cooling intensity in the WS series, with a distinctive throat-focused sensation that menthol cannot match. With a melting point of 179-183C, it survives baking, extrusion and hot-fill processes without losing cooling power. It brings a fresh, aromatic sensory lift across the entire mouth and throat – no bitterness, no burning, no tingling.
