Sculponatic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C10H6O4. It is a yellow crystalline powder, insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents.
The most common use of sculponatic acid is as a raw material for dyes and pigments. It can be used for dyeing textiles, leather, paper, plastics and other substances, can also be used as color ink and other ink components.
The method of preparing sculponatic acid is mainly obtained by the oxidation reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons. A common preparation method is to use an oxidizing agent such as Nitro nitrogen dioxide (NO2) or manganese dioxide (MnO2) to oxidize a compound containing a benzene ring structure such as benzoyl benzene (benzoate), generates a Sculponeatic acid.
Regarding safety, sculponatic acid may cause irritation and damage to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. Therefore, wear protective gloves, goggles and masks during operation, and ensure that the operation is carried out in a well-ventilated place. If you come into contact with this substance, immediately flush the affected area with plenty of water and seek medical help.
When handling and storing sculponaic acid, avoid contact with strong oxidants and combustibles to prevent fire or explosion. In addition, it should be kept away from open flames and heat sources, and stored in a sealed container to prevent it from contacting air and absorbing moisture.
