Introduction
Acrolein. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, manufacturing methods and safety information of acrolein:Quality:- Acrolein has a strong pungent odor and is soluble in water and a variety of organic solvents.- It is an unstable compound that is susceptible to polymerization reactions.- In air, acrolein slowly polymerizes and forms polymers, which are prone to spontaneous combustion.Use:- Acrolein is widely used in the chemical industry as a starting substance for the synthesis of other compounds.- It can be used to make polymer materials such as resins, rubber, and plastics.- Acrolein can also be used as a reagent in organic synthesis for the synthesis of a variety of organic compounds.Method:- Acrolein can be prepared by the oxidation of acrylenone. Oxidants are commonly used in oxygen, hydrogen peroxide or neutral potassium permanganate solutions.- During the preparation process, it is necessary to control the reaction temperature and the amount of oxidant to avoid the occurrence of side reactions.Safety Information:- Acrolein is irritating and pathogenic, so take care to protect it from contact with skin and eyes.- Avoid inhaling acrolein gases or vapours and keep them well ventilated.- When handling acrolein, wear appropriate protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.- Store in an airtight container, away from fire and oxidants.
