Diisopropyl ether Usage
1. Used as a solvent for the concentration and recovery of dilute solutions of acetic acid or butyric acid, and as an extraction solvent for sodium thiocyanate in the wet acrylic fiber process.
2. Used as standard material, solvent, and extraction agent for chromatographic analysis, and also used in organic synthesis.
3. Diisopropyl ether is a good solvent for animal, vegetable, and mineral oils and fats, and can be used to extract nico tine from toba cco. It is also a good solvent for paraffin and resin. In industry, diisopropyl ether is often mixed with other solvents and applied to paraffin-based oils. The dewaxing process of the product. As a solvent, it is also used in pharmaceuticals, smokeless gunp owder, coatings, and paint cleaning. Diisopropyl ether has a high octane number and anti-freeze properties and can be used as a gasoline blending agent. This product easily forms peroxide and explodes when shaken. Para-benzylaminophenol is often added as a stabilizer. The anesthetic effect of diisopropyl ether is lighter than that of diethyl ether, but the duration of anesthesia is longer.
