Use | Diglyceride molecule contains 4 hydroxyl groups, is a kind of esterified, etherification and other reaction possibilities of organic synthesis intermediates. Mainly used for the preparation of fatty acid esters, used as emulsifiers and Defoamers. The main derivatives of diglycerols and diglyceryl tetramethyl acrylate: monomers of adhesives. Diglyceryl oleate: antifoaming agent, lubricating oil rust inhibitor, non-drop polyvinyl chloride packaging material, food, margarine and butter emulsifier. Diglyceryl ricinoleate: brake oil raw material, emulsifier and Defoamer. Diglyceryl stearate: food emulsifier, paint and detergent additives, anti-fogging agent, detergent containing solvent, shoe polish, wax and other anti-evaporation agent. Diglyceryl laurate: emulsifier, additive to detergents. Ethylene oxide adduct of diglycerol: demulsifier, antistatic agent, release agent. Diglycerin propylene oxide adduct: raw material of polyurethane, mold release agent. Triallyl ether of diglycerol: softener for synthetic rubber. mainly used for the preparation of fatty acid esters, as emulsifiers and Defoamers, and instead of glycerol for printing |
production method | There are three production methods. 1. Dimerization of glycerol 2. Reaction between allyl alcohol and acetone 3. Reaction between epichlorohydrin and sodium hydroxide in industry, diglycerol is a by-product of glycerol synthesis. Allyl Alcohol and epichlorohydrin are intermediates in the production of glycerol from propylene by acrolein method and epichlorohydrin method. |
