4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone Uses

Uses of  Diacetone alcohol (CAS NO.123-42-2) :
 Diacetone alcohol is used in cellulose ester lacquers, particularly of the brushing type, where it produces brilliant gloss and hard film and where its lack of odor is desirable. Besides Diacetone alcohol is also used in lacquer thinners, dopes, wood stains, wood preservatives and printing pastes; in coating compositions for paper and textiles; in making artificial silk and leather; in imitation gold leaf; in celluloid cements; as a preservative for animal tissue; in metal cleaning compounds; in the manufacture of photographic film; and in hydraulic brake fluids, where it is usually mixed with an equal volume of castor oil.

4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone Production

 Preparation of Diacetone alcohol (CAS NO.123-42-2) entails the Ba(OH)2-catalyzed condensation of two molecules of acetone. It undergoes dehydration to give the α,β-unsaturated ketone, mesityl oxide: Hydrogenation of mesityl oxide gives the industrial solvent, methyl isobutyl ketone .

4-Hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone Specification

General Information: As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. Vapors can travel to a source of ignition and flash back. Will burn if involved in a fire. Containers may explode in the heat of a fire. Combustible liquid.
Extinguishing Media: Use water spray to cool fire-exposed containers. Use dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or alcohol-resistant foam. 
Handling: Use spark-proof tools and explosion proof equipment. Avoid breathing dust, vapor, mist, or gas. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
Storage: Keep away from sources of ignition. Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.
