| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Clear colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid with a characteristic odor. | [Reactivity Profile]
ACETIN(26446-35-5) may hydrolyze in acid or alkaline aqueous solutions. Flammable and/or toxic gases are generated by the combination of alcohols with alkali metals, nitrides, and strong reducing agents. They react with oxoacids and carboxylic acids to form esters plus water. Oxidizing agents convert them to aldehydes or ketones. They exhibit both weak acid and weak base behavior. They may initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. | [Air & Water Reactions]
Very hygroscopic. Soluble in water. | [Fire Hazard]
This chemical is probably combustible. | [Chemical Properties]
Clear colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid | [Uses]
Glycerol monoacetate is used for production of tanning leather and dye. It is also used as a solvent. | [Uses]
In manufacture of smokeless powder and dynamite; as a solvent for basic dyes; in tanning leather. | [Production Methods]
Monoacetin is manufactured by heating glycerol with acetic
acid. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
