Overview of Propionaldehyde

Propionaldehyde is a highly reactive, volatile aldehyde with a strong pungent odor. It is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in various industrial processes. Due to its low boiling point and high reactivity, it is valuable in the synthesis of plastics, pharmaceuticals, and fragrances. It is typically handled under controlled conditions due to its flammability and tendency to polymerize.

 

Applications of Propionaldehyde

1. Fragrance & Flavour

  • It is a flavoring ingredient that can create fruity, light, and sweet notes.
  • Helps create apple, pineapple, and dairy-style flavours in food formulations.
  • Used in fragrance blends for a soft aldehydic lift, often combined with BenzaldehydeEthyl Butyrate, and Citral.

2. Pharmaceutical & Chemical Synthesis

  • Works as an important starting material for making many chemical intermediates.
  • Used to produce alcohols, acids, and other aldehyde-based compounds.
  • Helpful in lab and industrial processes where a reactive aldehyde is needed.

3. Resin, Plastic & Coating Industry

  • Used to produce resins, plastics, and protective coatings.
  • Helps improve flexibility and performance in polymer systems.
  • Supports the production of specialty materials for industrial use.

 

Safety and Handling Guidelines

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and explosion-proof area in tightly sealed containers away from heat and oxidizing agents.
  • Protective Measures: Use flame-resistant gloves, goggles, and full protective clothing.
  • Handling: Handle in well-ventilated areas with flame-proof equipment; avoid inhalation and all ignition sources.
