Diacetone Alcohol (4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone) 99% CAS NO. 123-42-2 Industrial Grade
Scope of Application
· This product is widely used as a high-boiling solvent in nitrocellulose lacquers, acrylic coatings, epoxy resins, and polyurethane systems to improve flow, leveling, and blush resistance.
· It serves as an effective solvent in printing inks, wood stains, and surface coatings due to its excellent dilution ratio and controlled evaporation rate.
· It can be used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of mesityl oxide, hexylene glycol, and other organic compounds.
· It is also employed in hydraulic brake fluid formulations, metal cleaning agents, and textile processing applications.
Product Features
This Diacetone Alcohol is produced via controlled alkaline condensation of acetone, followed by advanced purification technology ensuring consistent quality and batch-to-batch stability. With a purity exceeding 99% (verified by GC analysis), it offers superior solvency power for both polar and non-polar substances. Its high boiling point (166°C) and slow evaporation rate contribute to excellent film formation, gloss, and flow-out properties in coating applications. The product is completely miscible with water and most organic solvents, offering formulators exceptional flexibility. It features low free acid content and strict control of impurities, ensuring optimal performance in sensitive formulations. Advanced analytical instruments including Gas Chromatography (GC) are employed to ensure the product meets stringent industrial standards.
