Application Of Dipropylene Glycol Methyl Ether Acetate (DPMA) Is In The Field Of Aromatherapy

Cane aromatherapy is mainly composed of volatile sticks and aromatherapy liquid. Most volatile sticks are made of plant rattan, some are made of carbon sticks and gypsum as volatile media, aromatherapy liquid is composed of essence and solvent. Essence is composed of spices, good or bad depends on the quality of spices. Many people listen to the flavor color change, in fact, the flavor is everywhere in our daily life, divided into daily flavor and food flavor, food flavor such as candy, tobacco and alcohol, beverages, hot pot bottom material, etc., we say the flavor belongs to the category of daily essence, that is, we usually use perfume, shampoo, laundry detergent, skin care products, fresh air spray. Therefore, based on the data currently known, it is not harmful to humans. Why do you use solvents for cane aromatherapy? Not only are pure spices expensive, but the aroma of pure spices is too strong, and some macromolecular spices are not easy to volatilize and other problems, so it is necessary to use solvents to dilute and help volatilize. At present, the market is basically concerned about whether the solvent can reach a balance point in volatilization, odor, cost and so on when selecting aromatherapy solvents. Because the use of aromatherapy is very close to People's Daily life, skin, eye contact, and even drink by mistake may occur, so safety should be the primary consideration in the selection of solvents.

Safety has several aspects, such as physical safety, health safety, environmental safety, etc. :

Physical safety - mainly to see whether it is dangerous goods, which is related to the daily use, storage and other precautions;
Health and safety - from multiple aspects, including the acute toxicity (oral, percutaneous, respiratory tract) size after accidental ingestion of the human body, whether the human body can be metabolized, whether it is a carcinogen, whether it will cause reproductive toxicity, and whether harmful impurities such as heavy metals and formaldehyde exist or exceed the standard;
Environmental safety - It is easy to understand whether it is environmentally friendly, etc.

Therefore, the choice of safe aromatherapy solvents should be from the human body's intake of easy metabolism, will not cause serious skin, respiratory tract, digestive tract irritation, long-term use will not produce chronic toxicity or chemical damage, will not lead to cancer and other low-toxicity, and even theoretical non-toxic solvents. At present, the main solvents are isopane, dipropylene glycol methyl ether (DPM), dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate (DPMA), 3-methyl-3-methoxy-1-butanol (MMB), acetone glycerol, alcohol and so on. The following is a brief introduction to these solvents.

Dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate (DPMA) is produced by the esterification reaction of DPM and acetic acid, with ester aroma, the United States VOC regulations exempt solvent (vapor pressure below 0.01Hg is exempt, there is an opportunity to talk about VOC alone), high safety, slow volatilization, because of the oily, not suitable for alcohol, can be used with DPM and other fast volatilization solvents.
