12-Hydroxyabietic acid(12-Hydroxyabietic acid) is a natural product found mainly in rosin. The following is a description of the nature, use, formulation and safety information of 12-Hydroxyabietic acid:
Nature:
- 12-Hydroxyabietic acid is a colorless crystalline solid.
-It is almost insoluble in water, but has good solubility in organic solvents.
-It has the characteristics of phenol compounds and contains a hydroxyl functional group.
Use:
- 12-Hydroxyabietic acid can be used to replace or improve the characteristics of other resin materials.
-It is used as a coating additive, lubricant and raw material for the preparation of new materials in some industrial fields.
-It also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties, so it is also used in food and medicine.
Method:
- 12-Hydroxyabietic acid can be prepared by hydrolysis of rosin and subsequent acidification.
-First, heat Rosin and water together under alkaline conditions to hydrolyze it to produce carboxylic acid.
-Then, by acidifying the carboxylic acid, the carboxyl group is converted into a hydroxyl group to obtain 12-Hydroxyabietic acid.
Safety Information:
- 12-Hydroxyabietic acid is generally considered non-toxic to humans.
-However, contact with 12-Hydroxyabietic acid may cause skin irritation, so appropriate protective measures should be taken when handling.
-During storage and use, please follow the relevant safety guidelines and avoid contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
