Product Description
Cooling Agent WS-12 is a synthetic menthol derivative supplied as ≥99% white crystal powder, CAS 68489-09-8, positioned as odorless/flavorless TRPM8 activation with very long cooling duration in the WS family.
Supplier notes poor water solubility and bitterness if used alone—often blended with WS-23 for onset plus WS-12 for hold. Heat stability to about 200 °C is cited for baked and hot-fill uses.
Oral care, confectionery, beverages and cosmetics appear on the sheet; ethanol/glycol premix is typical.

FAQ
WS-12 alone vs blends?
Supplier formulation notes recommend blending with WS-23 for immediate plus prolonged cooling—single-agent trials may taste bitter.
Solubility?
Insoluble in water; use ethanol/glycols—match your premix to the production phase.
WS-12 vs WS-23?
WS-12 emphasizes duration; WS-23 emphasizes cleaner, faster impact in comparisons—quote both if you blend.
