Contact SupplierMenthol Crystals Large / Medium / Small | |
Manufactured by extraction of menthol from menthol oil. The oil is chilled to a temperature of -40°C to separate the menthol, which is later crystallized by slow cooling. These crystals are available in the following two grades and confirm to IP/BP/USP/JP/FCC-III standards. If a liquid cools down slowly, it will turn into a crystal. The particles (atoms or small groups of atoms) line up in orderly rows, columns and layers. As the particles lose energy in the liquid, they become attached to the nearest edge of the crystal and so make the edge move into what was the liquid. You can see the "edges" of crystals move across the slide in the exhibit as the liquid menthol freezes. | |
