Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide (MEKP) is an organic peroxide. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information of methapyruvate:
Quality:
- Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid
- Flash Point: 7°C
Use:
- As an initiator: Methopyruvate is widely used as an organic peroxide initiator and can be used to initiate polymerization reactions in resin systems such as polyester, polyethylene, polypropylene, etc.
- Bleach: Methylpyruvate can be used to bleach pulp and paper to enhance its whiteness.
- Solvents: With its good solubility, methylpyruvate is used as a solvent, especially for the dissolution of certain resins and coatings.
Method:
The preparation of methylpyruvate can be obtained by the reaction of sodium hydroperoxide or tert-butyl hydroxyperoxide with acetone under alkaline conditions.
Safety Information:
- Methylpyruvate is an organic peroxide that is highly oxidizing and explosive. When storing and handling, the relevant safety operating procedures should be strictly observed, including avoiding contact with combustibles, preventing temperature rise, avoiding impact and friction, etc.
- During transportation, appropriate packaging and protective measures should be taken to ensure that it is not affected by heat, ignition and excitation conditions.
- Wear chemical gloves, goggles and gowns during use, ensure good ventilation, and avoid inhalation, contact with skin and eyes.
- In the event of a leak or accident, emergency measures should be taken immediately to remove the leakage and dispose of the waste properly.
When using methylpyruvate, relevant regulations and safety operating procedures should be strictly adhered to to ensure personal safety and environmental safety. It is important to store, handle and handle the substance properly.
