About Acetaldehyde solution 35%
Acetaldehyde is a highly flammable, volatile colourless liquid. It has a characteristic, pungent, and suffocating odour and is miscible in water. Acetaldehyde is ubiquitous in the ambient environment. it found in nature in many foods such as ripe fruits, cheese and heated milk. acetaldehyde occurs naturally during fermentation, and low levels of acetaldehyde are to be found in certain foods.
Acetaldehyde is used as a general solvent in organic and polymer chemical reactions. Acetaldehyde is used in producing acetic acid,acetic anhydride, cellulose acetate, syntheticpyridine derivatives, pentaerythritol, terephthalicacid, and many other raw materials. Because of its versatile chemical reactivity, acetaldehyde is widely used as a commencing material in organic syntheses, including the production of resins, dyestuffs, and explosives.
