E1520 Flavour solvent

Forty-five percent of E1520 produced is used as a chemical feedstock for the production of unsaturated polyester resins. In this regard, E1520 reacts with a mixture of unsaturated maleic anhydride and isophthalic acid to give a copolymer. This partially unsaturated polymer undergoes further crosslinking to yield thermoset plastics. Related to this application, E1520 reacts with propylene oxide to give oligomers and polymers that are used to produce polyurethanes.E1520 is used in water-based acrylic architectural paints to extend dry time which it accomplishes by preventing the surface from drying due to its slower evaporation rate compared to water.E1520 is also used in various edible items such as coffee-based drinks, liquid sweeteners, ice cream, whipped dairy products, and soda. Vaporizers used for the delivery of pharmaceuticals or personal-care products often include E1520 among the ingredients. In alcohol-based hand sanitizers, it is used as a humectant to prevent the skin from drying.E1520 is used as a solvent in many pharmaceuticals, including oral, injectable, and topical formulations. Many pharmaceutical drugs which are insoluble in water utilize E1520 as a solvent and carrier; benzodiazepine tablets are one example. E1520 is also used as a solvent and carrier for many pharmaceutical capsule preparations. Additionally, certain formulations of artificial tears use E1520 as an ingredient.
