METHYL ABIETATE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Pale Yellow Thick Oil

Occurrence

Wood rosin is found in the resinous residue of turpentine (Arctander, 1960)

Uses

Methyl Abietate was used as an antiplasticizer for polycarbonates.

Uses

As a solvent for ester gums, rosin, many synthetic resins, ethyl cellulose, rubber, etc.; in the manufacture of varnish resins; as ingredient in adhesives.

Preparation

Prepared by esterification of wood rosin with methanol.

Flammability and Explosibility

Not classified

Safety Profile

Low toxicity by ingestion and skin contact. A skin irritant. Probably slightly toxic. Combustible liquid when exposed to heat or flame; can react with oxidizing materials. To fight fire, use CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
