What does Citrathal Tech smell like?

Givaudan describes Citrathal as having a distinctive clean-fresh, lemon-lime character and positions it as one of the more chemically stable citrus materials, supplied in three grades of which Tech is the technical one. It is a reaction product of 3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal with ethyl alcohol rather than free citral, which is why the lemon-lime brightness survives in bases where citral itself discolours or collapses. In a formula it is the workhorse lemon-lime top for functional and alkaline media: it tolerates generous use levels, blooms well in soap and holds on damp substrate, though the house rates it weakly in acid cleaners and fabric detergent.

Every regulatory join - IFRA, GHS, allergens - is by CAS number, and a material can supply one through its constituents as well as its own row, so of the 569 materials carrying no CAS number the 244 without a constituent table are the ones that return "nothing known" rather than "nothing applies". The blotter hours are sourced rather than measured by us, and the app labels every one of them an estimate. There is no physical chemistry on a row: no molecular weight, no vapour pressure, no boiling point. The longer answer, or the whole catalog counted.
