Applications
<P class=tgt>Purity: 98%, white sheet-shape crystallization, has hygroscopic. Soluble in water and alcohol, ether of organic solvents. The goods of wide applications. Acetyl propionic acid are then used as carboxylic acid and can be used as ketones happening reaction, through esterification, halogenating, hydrogenation, oxidation dehydrogenation and condensation etc, producing all kinds of products, including resin, medicine, spices, solvents, paints and coatings, inks, rubber and plastic additives, lubricant additives, surfactants, etc. In pharmaceutical industry, the calcium salt (fruit sour calcium) can be obtained intravenous injection. As nutrition medicine, conduce to the bone formation of nerve and muscle and maintain the normal excitability, also used in the production of indomethacin, plant hormones. Acetyl propionic acid obtained double phenolic acids can manufacture soluble resin, applied in papermaking industrial production filter nonwovens. Acetyl propionic acid also pesticide, dye intermediates </P>
