Introduction
Butyryl butyroyl lactate is an organic compound that is also known as butyl butyrate lactate.
Quality:
Butyl butyroyl lactate is a liquid in which cocoa is soluble in organic solvents. It has the characteristics of being an ester, having the properties of being acidic and transesterifying with bases. It is a stable compound that is not prone to decomposition and oxidation.
Use:
Butyryl butyrolactylate is mainly used in industrial synthetic materials and solvents. With its low volatility and good solubility, it is widely used in paints, inks, adhesives, coatings and other fields. It is also commonly used as an ingredient in liquid fillers and flavors.
Method:
Butyl butyryl lactate can be synthesized by esterification. First, butyric acid is esterified with lactic acid, which requires the presence of a catalyst. By adjusting the reaction conditions (temperature, time, etc.), the formation of butyroyl butyrolactylate can be controlled.
Safety Information:
Butyl butyroyl lactate is generally considered safe under normal conditions of use. As a chemical, there are still some safety measures to be aware of. Exposure to butyryl butyryl lactate should be avoided and prolonged exposure to the skin, and appropriate protective gear should be worn to prevent vapor inhalation. Care should be taken to avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids during use to prevent danger. In case of accidental ingestion or ingestion, seek medical attention immediately.
