Basic Information
Product Name: Diacetone Alcohol
Chemical Formula: CAS Number: 123-42-2
Other Names: 4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone; Diacetone alcohol
Appearance:Colorless transparent liquid with a mild mint or acetone-like odor.
Commercial grades may appear slightly yellow due to impurities.
Solubility:Highly soluble in water (≈55 g/100 mL at 20°C); miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, acetone, chloroform, and other organic solvents. Dissolves cellulose esters, ethers, oils, and resins.
Boiling/Melting Point:Boiling point: 166-169°C (at atmospheric pressure);
Melting point: -44°C;
Flash point (closed cup): 66°C (flammable, handle with caution).
Density (20°C): 0.938 g/mL;
Applications
Paint and Ink Industry
Solvent and Cosolvent:
High-boiling solvent for nitrocellulose paints, acrylic resins, and epoxy coatings, improving film leveling and preventing "blushing."
Regulates ink drying speed and enhances printability (e.g., offset and gravure inks).
Adhesives and Sealants
Dissolves cellulose derivatives and synthetic resins (e.g., phenolic resins, polyurethanes) for solvent-based adhesives;
Diluent for polyurethane sealants to reduce viscosity.
Metal Processing and Cleaning
Metal cleaner: Dissolves oil and resin contaminants for precision parts degreasing (e.g., aerospace components);
Cutting fluid additive: Improves lubricity and cooling, reducing tool wear.
Pharmaceuticals and Cosmetics
Pharmaceutical intermediate (e.g., for sedatives and antibiotics);
Solvent in cosmetics (e.g., nail polish, hairspray) or fragrance formulation.
Other Applications
Solvent or co-emulsifier in pesticides;
Leveling agent and dispersant in textile dyeing;
Solvent for electrode pastes in lithium battery production.
Safety and Protection
Hazards:
Health Risks:
Inhalation: High vapor concentrations irritate the respiratory tract, causing cough and headache;
Skin/Eye Contact: Liquid irritates skin and eyes; prolonged contact may lead to dermatitis;
Ingestion: Causes nausea and vomiting if swallowed. LD50 (rat, oral) ≈3000 mg/kg (low toxicity).
Fire/Explosion Risk: Flammable liquid; vapor forms explosive mixtures with air (explosive limit 1.8-8.0% by volume).
Safety Measures:
Engineering Controls: Ensure good ventilation to prevent vapor accumulation;
Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and respiratory protection in high-concentration environments;
Firefighting: Use alcohol-resistant foam, dry powder, or CO2 extinguishers; avoid direct water spray.
Environmental Impact:
Readily biodegradable; low toxicity to aquatic life (LC50 (fish) >100 mg/L), but avoid large discharges into water bodies.
Storage and Transportation
Storage:
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse, sealed away from fire, heat, oxidants, acids, and bases;
Prevent sunlight exposure and ground containers to avoid static buildup.
Transportation:
Classified as "flammable liquid" (UN 1148, PG III); comply with hazardous materials regulations;
Avoid mixing with food or pharmaceuticals; handle with care to prevent container damage.
