Raw Material for Ethylene Glycol Diacetate Production
According to the Ethylene Glycol Diacetate production plant project report, the major raw material for Ethylene Glycol Diacetate production includes Ethylene Glycol-Acetic Acid.
Production Process of Ethylene Glycol Diacetate
The extensive Ethylene Glycol Diacetate production cost report consists of the following industrial production process:
- Production from Acetic Acid: In this method, ethylene glycol diacetate is produced by using ethylene glycol and acetic acid as the major raw materials. The process is initiated by the chemical reaction of ethylene glycol with acetic acid in the presence of a mineral acid, which results in the formation of ethylene glycol diacetate as the desired product.
Ethylene Glycol Diacetate is a colorless liquid with a mild ester-like odor. It is a glycol acetate with six carbon, ten hydrogen, and four oxygen atoms. Its chemical formula is C2H6O2. It has a molecular mass of 62.07g/mol. It is a combustible ester with a bitter taste. Its melting and boiling point is measured around -12.9 °C and 197.3 °C, respectively. It is miscible in water and can be dissolved in solvents like acetone and ethanol. Its density is given by 1.11 g/cm3 at 20 °C, which is denser than water. Its vapor pressure is given by 0.4 mmHg at 20 °C. It is a combustible chemical that has a flash point of around 111-121°C and an autoignition temperature measuring approximately 410 °C. It can undergo decomposition when heated while giving acrid fumes in the air. It is a very slow-evaporating solvent chemical that is flammable, with a requirement of a little more effort needed to ignite the same. The compound is highly reactive towards compounds like alcohols, oxidizing acids, and caustic solutions. It results in exothermic reactions when treated with oxidizing acids or aqueous acids.
