About Propylene glycol phenyl ether:

Propylene glycol Phenyl ether (propylene glycol) is an organic compound with C6H5CH(OH)CH2OH formula. The boiling point of propylene glycol phenyl ether is higher, about 285 ° C and the freezing point is lower, about -30 ° C.

Propylene glycol phenyl ether is a common industrial solvent widely used in the production of paints, inks, adhesives, etc. Due to its good solubility and stability, propylene glycol phenyl ether can effectively dissolve various resins and polymers, thereby improving the quality and performance of products. In addition, propylene glycol phenyl ether also has certain corrosion and rust resistance and can be used as a protective agent for metal surfaces.

When using propylene glycol phenyl ether, paying attention to its toxicity and irritation is necessary. Although the toxicity of propylene glycol phenyl ether is relatively low, long-term exposure or inhalation of high concentrations of propylene glycol phenyl ether may cause certain damage to human organs such as the liver and kidney. Therefore, when using propylene glycol phenyl ether, corresponding protective measures need to be taken, such as wearing protective clothing, gloves, masks, etc., to reduce the harm to the body.

In addition, propylene glycol phenyl ether also has a certain flammability, so it is necessary to pay attention to fire prevention measures during use. Still, it should be noted that it can not be mixed with strong oxidants or alkali substances to avoid chemical reactions causing danger.

Production Method of Propylene glycol phenyl ether  :

Synthesis method:

(1) The substitution reaction with monochloromethane occurs to obtain the final product, propylene glycol phenyl ether. The advantage of this method is that the process is simple and the cost is low, but the disadvantage is that the quality of the product is not easy to control and may contain more impurities.

(2) Butyl acrylate was used as raw material to esterify phenol to produce butyl phenol propionate. Then, it is added with isopropyl alcohol to get the final product, propylene glycol phenyl ether. The advantage of this method is that the product quality is better, but the disadvantage is that the process is complicated and the cost is higher.

Direct oxidation method:

Propylene glycol and oxygen are directly oxidized to produce propylene glycol phenyl ether. This method avoids using toxic and harmful substances such as organic solvents and catalysts and is more environmentally friendly and economical. However, it should be noted that the reaction conditions of the direct oxidation method are relatively harsh, and it needs to be carried out under high temperature and pressure conditions, which have high requirements for equipment and safety.

Hydrolysis method:

Propylene glycol and phenol were mixed, added to water, and hydrolyzed at a certain temperature and pressure to produce propylene glycol phenyl ether. 

Biological fermentation method:

Microbial fermentation converted propylene glycol and phenol into propylene glycol phenyl ether. This method has a high conversion rate and safety but requires specific strains and technical support.
