29972-79-0 - Introduction
Lauryl formate (Methyl Laurate), also known as methyl laurate, is a colorless liquid with an aromatic odor. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of lauryl formate:
Nature:
-Appearance: colorless liquid
-Molecular formula: C13H26O2
-Molecular weight: 214.34g/mol
-Boiling point: 260-270 ℃
-Density: 0.875-0.885g/cm3
-Melting point:-10 ℃
Use:
-Functional Ingredients: Lauryl Formate is often added to perfumes, fragrances, soaps, detergents and cosmetics as a perfuming agent to provide an aromatic scent.
-Solvent: Lauryl Formate can be used as an organic solvent for paints, coatings and adhesives.
-Surfactant: It can also be used as a surfactant to help improve the stability of the emulsion and assist in emulsification.
-Other uses: Lauryl Formate can also be used in food, pharmaceutical and printing fields.
Method:
Lauryl formate is usually prepared by the esterification of lauric acid and methanol. The reaction is promoted by heating and adding an esterifying agent. The product was then purified by distillation.
Safety Information:
-Lauryl formate is considered relatively safe under normal use conditions. However, for any chemical substance, safe operation and protective measures should still be followed.
-May irritate the eyes and skin, so wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, during operation.
-Avoid contact with strong oxidants or fire sources during storage and handling to prevent fire or explosion.
This information is for reference only. Before using lauryl formate, you should consult the relevant safety data sheet and operating instructions, and follow the corresponding safety standards and regulations.
