2-Ethyl-1-hexyl 2-hydroxypropanoate - Introduction
2-ethylhexyl lactate, chemical formula C9H18O3, is an organic compound.
Nature:
2-ethylhexyl lactate is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid with a taste similar to esters. It has good solubility, low toxicity and good stability.
Use:
2-ethylhexyl lactate is a commonly used plasticizer and degradable plastic. It can be used in the manufacture of soft PVC, PE, PP and other plastic products, so that it has softness, transparency and processability improvement. In addition, it can be used as a co-solvent in solvents, inks and coatings.
Preparation Method:
2-ethylhexyl lactate are usually prepared by an esterification reaction between 1-hexanol and lactic anhydride. This reaction requires appropriate catalysts and reaction conditions.
Safety Information:
2-ethylhexyl lactate is relatively safe under general conditions of use, but the following matters still need to be paid attention:
-Avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes, which may cause irritation.
-in the use of the process to maintain good ventilation, to avoid inhalation of its vapor.
-Avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids during storage.
-When handling should comply with the relevant safety procedures and protective measures.
