General description

Propyl propionate and water mixtures can be separated by pervaporation using PEBA membranes. The diffusivity of pure propyl propionate in the PEBA membrane is about 28 times higher than pure water diffusivity.

Application

Propyl propionate is a general reagent which can be used in various transesterification reactions.
