Uses of Diacetone Alcohol (DAA)
DAA is used as a raw material for high boiling point solvents, paint diluents, wood stains, rust removers, and dyes, etc. Diacetone alcohol boiling point is 166 °C (331 °F; 439 K).
DAA is used as a dye raw material and resin solution.
It can be used as a solvent for cellulose acetate and cellulose ester, and celluloid. It can be applied in biochemical researches, electrophoretic analysis and wood preservatives.
DAA has the chemical properties of ketones and tertiary alcohols. It will be decomposed when mixed with alkalis or heated to more than 130 ℃, which produces 2 molecules of acetone.
It can be used as a high boiling point organic solvent. It has low viscosity, on which low temperatures have little effect, and is used in cellulose ester paints.
