Resin industry food grade

The substituted phenols and cresols constitute about half the total volume of this group. Para-t-butylphenol is produced by the alkylation of phenol with isobutylene. The principal applications for this derivative are in the manufacture of modified phenolic resins for the rubber industry and in surface coatings. BHT is obtained from isobutylene and p-cresol. Technical-grade BHT is an antioxidant for plastics and elastomers, and is a gum inhibitor in gasoline. Food-grade BHT is an antioxidant in edible oils, preserves, and many other foods. 2,6-Di-t-butylphenol is used to produce a wide range of plastics additives, antioxidants, and gasoline additives. 

Acetic acid is used in the manufacture of a wide variety of products including adhesives, polyester fibres, plastics, paints, resins and solvents. About 40% of the acetic acid made industrially is used in the manufacture of vinyl acetate monomer for the plastics industry other large uses are to make cellulose acetate, a variety of acetate esters that are used as solvents, as well as monochloracetic acid, a pesticide. Acetic acid is also used as a solvent for the oxidation of p-xylene to terephthalic acid, a precursor to the important polyester, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). A minor, but important use is as non-brewed condiment, a vinegar substitute widely used in British fish and chip shops this is made using food-grade industrial acetic acid and is less expensive than fermentation vinegar. 

Precaution Combustible Uses Antioxidant for elastomers, polyolefins, polyesters, cellulosics, resins, food-grade polymers, food-pkg. adhesives, petroleum oil, and waxes antioxidant and antiwear agent for motor oils, aviation piston engine oils, industrial oils... 

Propylene glycol possesses various industrial applications such as unsaturated polyester resins, coolants and antifreeze, hydraulic and brake fluid, aircraft deicing fluid, heat transfer fluids, paints, and coatings. Superior grade materials can be used in fragrance, cosmetics and personal care applications, food and flavorings, pet food / animal feed, and in pharmaceutical formulations.
