1,3-DICAPRIN - Risk and Safety
1,3-DICAPRIN - Introduction
1,3-dicaprin (1,3-dicaprin) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C30H58O5. Its nature is colorless to pale yellow liquid, with low viscosity and slight special odor.
1,3-dicaprin is mainly used as a thickener, lubricant and emulsifier in the cosmetics and food industries. It can also be used as a solvent in pharmaceutical formulations and as a carrier for drug delivery systems. In addition, 1,3-dicaprin is also used as an additive for industrial lubricants, plastics and rubber.
The method for preparing 1,3-dicaprin is mainly obtained by esterification of fatty acids with glycerol. Specifically, adipic acid (1,6-adipic acid or 1,8-adipic acid) is reacted with glycerol in the presence of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid, to produce 1,3-dicaprin.
From a safety perspective, 1,3-dicaprin is a relatively safe compound. It is not flammable at room temperature, but may burn if it continues to be heated or in contact with oxygen. Contact with strong oxidants and strong acids should be avoided during use and storage. In addition, care should be taken to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent changes in its quality. Appropriate personal protective measures such as wearing gloves and goggles should be taken when handling 1,3-dicaprin. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help. Before use or storage, it is best to read and follow the relevant safety instructions for the products used.
