Triacetin Liquid Applications Properties Production
"On Triacetic Liquid"
Triacetic liquid, among all things, has a unique use. It is widely used and has been involved in many fields. In pharmaceutical preparations, it can be used as a plasticizer to make the shape of pills and capsules more stable, and it is conducive to the slow release of drug ingredients, so that the effect can last. In the fragrance industry, it can be used as a setting agent to retain the fragrance and make the fragrance longer. In the food industry, it also has its body shadow and is used as a food additive to improve the texture and taste of food, and is very popular because of its high safety.
In terms of its properties, triacetic liquid is a colorless, transparent and pleasant aroma liquid. The density is moderate, the viscosity is good, the solubility is quite good, and it can be soluble with many organic solvents. The chemical properties are relatively stable. Under normal conditions, it is not easy to cause violent chemical reactions. However, when it encounters strong acid or alkali or high temperature, it will also change.
As for its production, it is mostly formed by esterification reaction. Glycerol and acetic acid are used as raw materials, under the action of suitable catalysts, through a series of processes such as heating and stirring to promote the reaction. After separation and purification, impurities are removed to obtain a pure triacetic liquid. The production process requires strict control of temperature, pressure, reaction time and other factors to ensure the quality and yield of the product. In this way, triacetin liquid can play its due role in various fields and benefit many industries.
