DI ACETONE ALCOHOL

Product Description

DiacetoneAlcohol (DAA) is a versatile solvent and chemical intermediate used in variousindustrial applications. It is a colorless, clear liquid with a mild,characteristic odor. Diacetone Alcohol is produced by the condensation ofacetone, resulting in a dimeric molecule.

The primaryapplication of Diacetone Alcohol is as a solvent in coatings, paints,varnishes, and lacquers. It is valued for its high solvency power, whichenables it to dissolve resins, oils, and waxes effectively. DAA is often usedas a coalescing agent in water-based coatings, contributing to film formationand improving coating properties.

In additionto its role as a solvent, Diacetone Alcohol serves as a chemical intermediatein the production of various compounds, including pharmaceuticals,plasticizers, and specialty chemicals. It is used in the synthesis of glycolethers and esters, which find applications in cosmetics, personal careproducts, and industrial formulations.

DiacetoneAlcohol exhibits moderate volatility and low toxicity, making it suitable foruse in formulations where controlled evaporation rates and minimal health risksare important considerations. However, as with all chemical substances, properhandling, storage, and disposal practices should be followed to ensure safe useof Diacetone Alcohol. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves andgoggles, should be worn to minimize skin contact and inhalation exposure duringhandling.
