Main Uses
1. Pharmaceutical intermediates: Used in the synthesis of antibacterial agents (such as clindamycin and otidine precursors), sustained-release drug delivery systems, and ointment bases.
2. Cosmetics/skincare products: Used as a humectant, mild preservative, fixative, and lubricant; widely used in lotions, hair conditioners, and other products (low risk; generally considered safe).
3. Fragrances and Flavorings: Used in the preparation of specific fragrance components.
4. Polymer Materials: Used in the synthesis of polyurethanes, polyesters, specialty adhesives, and plastic/rubber intermediates.
Storage Requirements
1. Environmental Conditions: Keep tightly sealed, protected from light, and stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area; most suppliers recommend a temperature of ≤30°C (some reagent-grade products require storage at low temperatures).
2. Incompatible Substances: Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, acid anhydrides, acyl chlorides, chloroformates, and reducing agents; avoid contact with sources of ignition.
3. Safety Precautions: May be harmful to aquatic life; avoid direct contact with skin or eyes during handling; ensure the work area is well-ventilated.
