Description
A clear, sweet smelling organic ester used a solvent, perfume, and general reagent in various transesterification reactions. Propyl propionate has been considered as a safer substitute for toluene, however there is little to no information available on its long term affects on humans.
Synonyms and Related Terms
Propyl propanoate (IUPAC); propanoic acid, propyl ester;
Applications
- Evaporates faster than xylene
- Appears to be an effective carrier for Paraloid B72
Risks
- Highly flammable with a low flash point (-19C).
- Overexposure can cause skin, eye, nose and throat irritation, headache and dizziness.
- Vapors can be toxic
- Ingestion causes vomiting.
- ThermoFisher: SDS
