Acetophenone

Obtained as a by-product of oxidation that occurs between ethylbenzene hydroperoxide and ethylbenzene. It is one of the most simplest aromatic ketone. Being colorless and aromatic in nature, this is highly demanded in the market as a fragrance to be used in soaps and perfumes. Besides, Acetophenone also finds usage as a flavoring agent in meals and a good solvent for resins and plastic products. Since it is available in liquid form, we use good quality bottle for packing it to avoid spillage during transit. However, when working with it, make sure to use safety goggles, gloves and other products to avoid its contact with skin or eyes.
