Glyceryl caprylate, molecular formula c21h40o5, relative molecular mass: 372.54, is made by using coconut oil or palm kernel oil, mountain cane oil and other oils as raw materials, hydrolysis, fractionation, cutting, to obtain caprylic acid, capric acid and glyceride esterification, and then deacidification, dehydration, decolorization.
Beite Chemical, which supplies glyceryl caprylate, reminds you of the combustion and explosive properties of glyceryl capricate and safety matters related to storage and transportation:
1. Ignition and explosion characteristics and fire protection
Flash point: 240°C
Lower limit: No data
Ignition temperature: 433
Hazard characteristics: in case of high heat, open flame and then contact with oxidant, it may cause the risk of combustion.
Fire extinguishing method: Move the container from the fire site to an open place as much as possible. Sprinkle water to keep the fire container cool until the end of the fire. Containers in the fire must be evacuated immediately if they have changed color or generated sound from a safety relief device. Fire extinguishing agent: water spray, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide, sand.
2. Emergency treatment of leakage
After the leakage occurs, since this product is not irritating and toxic, simply rinse the ground with clean water and then discharge the sewage into the sewage treatment tank.
3. Precautions for storage and transportation
Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat. Protect from direct sunlight. Keep container tightly sealed. It should be stored separately from oxidants and should not be mixed. Equipped with the corresponding variety and quantity of fire fighting equipment. The storage area should be equipped with emergency leakage treatment equipment and suitable containment materials.
