How much do You Know about One of the Important Chemical Raw Materials -- Isophorone (IPHO)?

Chemical raw materials are raw materials used in chemical industry to produce the chemical products. According to the material source, it can be divided into: inorganic materials, there are mainly acid, alkali, salt and oxide; Organic raw materials, mainly all kinds of hydrocarbons, such as the fat hydrocarbon, fatty hydrocarbon and aromatic hydrocarbon, etc. According to the production process, it can be divided into as follows:

1, Starting materials, the required materials of the first step in the chemical production, such as air, water, fossil fuels (they are coal, oil, natural gas, etc.), sea salt, all kinds of minerals, agricultural products, (such as starchy food or wild plant, cellulose containing wood, bamboo, reed, straw, etc.).

2, The basic raw materials, are obtained by processing the starting materials, such as calcium carbide and various organic and inorganic materials listed above.

3, The intermediate raw materials, also known as intermediates, generally refer to in a complex organic chemical production, using basic raw materials to produce a product, but it is not a product of the final application, further processing is needed. Such as the production of various organic compounds such as the dye, plastic and medicine: methanol, acetone, vinyl chloride, etc. 

78-59-1 Isophorone (Ipho), known as 3,5,5-trimethyl-2-cyclohexene-1-one in English, is a kind of high-boiling-point unsaturated ketones, its main ingredients are alpha isophorone (3,5,5-3 - methyl - 2 - cyclohexene - 1 ketone) and trace amounts of beta isophorone (3,5,5-3 - methyl - 3 - cyclohexene - 1 ketone) isomer mixtures. This product is slightly soluble in water and soluble in most organic solvents, due to its special unsaturated bond and ring structure and has a strong ability to dissolve, so it can dissolve most organic, polymers, resins and other chemicals. 

Isophorone in the industries of the paint and varnish is widely used as a high-boiling-point solvent, so it's also called solvent for paints and varnishes, especially the soluble property to the PVDF resin is nice. In the market there are many high-boiling solvent wholesale services. At the same time it also can be used as the flatting agent such as the acrylic resin, alkyd resin, epoxy resin and phenolic resin. Isophorone is a kind of important chemical raw materials, and can be used as the raw material for ipda (isophorone diamine), IPDI (isophorone diisocyanate) and 3, 5 - dimethyl phenol. In addition, because of isophorone's excellent emulsification and stability, it can also be used in the herbicides and pesticides formulation. 

Then, you may be interested in Isophorone's the transport matters. Dangerous goods are generally the raw materials, intermediates, products of the chemical industry, and the selection of transport methods are mainly according to the chemical and physical properties of related products to choose, if it is a production, trade or logistics enterprise, is required to transport of dangerous goods, it must first have the MSDS (material safety data sheets) of the product, the product is divided into three states: solid liquid gas, a bar truck is only used to transport the solid state, pressure cylinders or pressure tank are only for the gas storage device, there is a flexible transportation for the liquid product, because the relationship between it and the temperature is very big, we have the following options to its transport: the one of high viscosity is generally bottled to transport by a bar truck or a insulation heating tank lorry; the chemicals which viscosity is nearly the same as water ,with little steam pressure and no corrosion, ordinary atmospheric truck is used; Stainless steel tank lorry can be used for the products of corrosion.
