What is Methyl Propanoate?

Methyl propanoate, also known as methyl propionate, is an organic compound with the molecular formula CH3CH2CO2CH3. It is a colorless liquid with a fruity and rum like aroma. Has flammability. Natural products exist in honey and citrus. Melting point -87.5 ℃, boiling point 79.9 ℃, relative density 0.9150, refractive index 1.3775. Slightly soluble in water, easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. Used as a solvent for nitric acid fibers and an intermediate in organic synthesis. Obtained by esterification of propionic acid and methanol.

Methyl propanoate, as a pollution-free and efficient hindered phenolic antioxidant, is an important chemical product and can also be used as a raw material for synthesizing antioxidants such as 1076, 1010, 1098, 3125, 259, etc. Many organic materials, such as lubricants, fuels, and functional polymers, are prone to oxidation or thermal deterioration due to overheating and mechanical stress. In the presence of oxygen, metal impurities, etc. in the air, these organic materials may lose their ideal physical properties, and even fail to function. Adding antioxidants as stabilizers can effectively delay their functional failure.

Methyl Propanoate Uses

Methyl propanoate is an organic compound belonging to the carboxylate ester family, commonly used as a solvent for nitrocellulose and varnish.

Methyl propanoate is also used as an organic synthetic raw material for manufacturing paints, varnish, and other chemical products, such as methyl methacrylate.

In addition, the fruity aroma and flavor of methyl propionate make it suitable for use as a spice and seasoning agent.

Notices

If inhaled or absorbed through the skin, it may produce toxic effects. Inhalation or contact with materials may irritate or burn the skin and eyes. Fire can produce irritating, corrosive, and/or toxic gases. Vapour may cause dizziness or suffocation. The runoff of firefighting or diluted water may cause pollution.

Highly flammable: easily ignited by heat, sparks, or flames. Vapour may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapour may reach the ignition source and backfire. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along the ground and gather in low or narrow areas (sewers, basements, water tanks). There is a risk of steam explosion indoors, outdoors, or in sewers. The runoff flowing into the sewer may cause fire or explosion hazards. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water.

Moderate toxicity upon ingestion. Inhalation has mild toxicity. Has a stimulating effect on the skin. Exposure to heat, flames, or oxidants can create a very dangerous fire hazard. When exposed to heat or flames, it will explode in the form of vapor. Please use foam, carbon dioxide and dry chemical when extinguishing. When heated and decomposed, it will release spicy smoke and irritating smoke.
