Description :
Acetaldehyde is a key raw material in production of a wide range of chemicals such as paint binders in alkyd paints and as a plasticizer for plastics. It is also used in the production of construction materials, fire retardant paints and explosives. The pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry uses acetaldehyde in the production of, for instance, sedatives and tranquilizers.
