Molecular weight: 78.133

EINECS No.: 200-464-6

Molar mass: 78.13 g·mol⁻¹

Melting point: -100 °C

Boiling point: 157-158 °C

Density: 1.11 g/cm³

Appearance: colorless transparent liquid

Field of application: It is a colorless volatile liquid with a strong pungent odor. Used in the synthesis of dyes, pesticides, medicines, etc. It can be used as an auxiliary agent in the rubber, textile, plastic, and paint industries, and can also be used as a plasticizer and insecticide. The reason it is widely used is that its hydroxyl group makes it soluble in water and reduces its volatility. Due to its lower vapor pressure, it has a much better smell than malodorous mercaptans.
