Lauryl propionate - Introduction
dodecyl propionate, also known as dodecyl propionate ester, is an organic compound. The following is a description of its nature, use, formulation and safety information:
Nature:
dodecyl propionate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with low volatility. It has low toxicity, low volatility and good durability.
Use:
dodecyl propionate is widely used in industry. It is mainly used as a solvent and plasticizer. In the coatings, inks, plastics and adhesives industries, it is often used to help adjust viscosity and increase oxidation resistance. In addition, it can also be used to prepare products such as perfumes, fragrances and cosmetics.
Preparation Method:
dodecyl propionate is usually prepared by the esterification of dodecanol (also known as dodecanol) and N-propionic acid. This reaction needs to be carried out in the presence of an acidic catalyst, and commonly used catalysts include sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid.
Safety Information:
dodecyl propionate is generally considered to be a relatively safe compound under regular operations. However, it may have allergic reactions to some people, so individual differences should be paid attention to when using it.
