6. Application Fields:
Propionic acid is an important fine chemicaland intermediate of fine chemicals. It is the
intermediate and pharmaceuticalintermediate of fungicides metalaxyl, benaxyl, herbicides such
asbarnyardgrass, quizalofop, oxazolofop, pyrifofop, thiazolofop, flufop,rufofofop, Propionamide,
oxadiazole, etc. In grain and feed additives. (1) Foodadditives. Calcium propionate and sodium
propionate can prevent food spoilage causedby microorganisms, prolong the storage time of food, and
are effectively usedfor the preservation of bread and cakes. (2) Grain preservative. Propionic
acidhas been successfully used in the prevention of mildew, rot and caking ofCereals, which provides
a new method for the long-term storage and preservationof cereals. (3) Beverage preservative.
Experiments have proved that propionicacid, sodium propionate and calcium propionate are good feed
preservationagents, which are mostly used to preserve feeds for pigs, cattle, sheep andpoultry,
among which calcium propionate has the best effect. Zinc Propionateand cadmium propionate in
propionate are catalysts for polyester production ofterephthalate; Propionate esters can be used as
solvents, spices, pharmaceuticalintermediates, cosmetic additives, resin modifiers, cigarette
filterplasticizers, gas oil Antiknock Agents, antibacterial agents, etc. Theintermediates of
propionic acid derivatives, 2-chloropropionic acid, lacticacid, 2,2-dichloropropionic acid,
2-bromopropionic acid, 3-chloropropionicacid, propionitrile, propionyl chloride, are used in the
production of manydrugs, pesticides, herbicides, food fortifiers, spices and other
productsrespectively. Uses: used for preparing propionate for spices, and used asnitrocellulose
solvent and plasticizer etc.
