Solketal is a glycerol-derived cyclic ketal: a clear, colorless, low-odor liquid that is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents. Its high boiling point, low volatility and renewable glycerol origin make it a versatile oxygenated solvent and synthetic building block.
Solketal is used as a solvent in coatings, inks, adhesives and industrial cleaners; as a pharmaceutical intermediate, solubilizer and co-solvent; and as a precursor for glycerides and other glycerol derivatives. It also serves as a formulation co-solvent in agrochemicals, a carrier solvent in fragrance and personal-care products, and an oxygenate for gasoline and biodiesel.
