Butyric acid, decyl ester - Introduction
decyl butyrate, chemical formula C18H36O2, is a colorless transparent liquid. The following is a brief description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of decyl butyrate:
Nature:
decyl butyrate has the characteristics of low volatility, insoluble in water, and non-flammable. It is a stable compound that is miscible with many organic solvents.
Use:
decyl butyrate is widely used in industrial and consumer products. It is mainly used as a solvent, plasticizer and lubricant. decyl butyrate can be used as a solvent in coatings, adhesives, inks, inks and dyes. In addition, decyl butyrate can also be used to prepare plastics and synthetic resins.
Preparation Method:
decyl butyrate is usually prepared by esterification. The specific steps are heating butyric acid and decyl alcohol to react, using a transesterification catalyst to promote the reaction, resulting in decyl butyrate. After the reaction has been carried out, pure decyl butyrate is separated from the reaction mixture by distillation and other separation techniques.
Safety Information:
decyl butyrate is relatively safe for the human body under normal conditions of use. However, exposure to decyl butyrate may cause irritation of the skin and eyes. Therefore, necessary safety measures should be taken during use, such as wearing appropriate protective gloves to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In industrial applications, it is necessary to follow relevant safety procedures and protective measures to ensure safe use and storage. Should any discomfort or concern arise with decyl butyrate, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
