POTASSIUM ABIETATE - Physico-chemical Properties
POTASSIUM ABIETATE - Introduction
potassium abietate is an organic compound with the chemical formula C20H29KO2. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:
Nature:
Potassium rosinate is a white crystalline solid with a waxy appearance and rosin odor. It is soluble in alcohols, ethers and some organic solvents, insoluble in water.
Use:
Potassium rosinate is widely used in the cosmetics and skin care industry as an emulsifier, stabilizer, preservative and softener. It is also used in resin synthesis, lubricants, coatings and inks.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of potassium rosinate is usually obtained by reacting rosinic acid obtained by distillation of turpentine with potassium hydroxide. The reaction produces potassium rosinate as well as ethanol and water.
Safety Information:
Potassium rosinate is relatively safe under general conditions of use. However, it is irritating to the eyes and skin and should be rinsed with water immediately after contact. During handling and storage, care should be taken to avoid contact with acids, oxidants and combustibles to avoid reaction or fire. For the use of any chemical, please follow the correct laboratory procedures and read and understand the relevant safety data sheets before use.
