Propyl Cinnamate: Fragrance Discolor Functional Packaging Material

The quality and price of product packaging and products are called the "Three Musketeers" of marketing. For this reason, in today's extremely rich commodities, manufacturers in order to quickly grasp the eyes of consumers, can be said to have exhausted their efforts in product packaging. Only packaging can comprehensively use elements such as color, shape, and materials, and at the same time express the connotation and information of products, brands, etc., highlight the common points of products and consumers' interests, create a more intuitive impact on consumers, and then affect consumption. The impression of products and companies can effectively achieve the purpose of attracting consumers. In recent years, with the development of multifunctionality of packaging materials, functional packaging materials additives have gradually become a common direction for manufacturers to choose packaging materials.

In the exploration of functional packaging materials, researchers found that propyl cinnamate can be added as a functional additive to packaging paper. As a spice for food packaging paper, photochromic dyes can also be used in high-end packaging. Material. First of all, propyl cinnamate can make the package have a kind of elegant fragrance, which can play a role in improving the grade of the product. At the same time, it can also be used as sterilization and anti-fungal agent in packaging materials such as antibacterial paper and leather materials. Next, cinnamic acid cinnamate is used as a raw material for cinnamate esterification and ionization modification of a phenolic epoxy resin to produce a quaternized ammonium cinnamate phenolic resin, which can be used as a raw material for making packaging materials. Furthermore, since propyl cinnamate is one of the photosensitive compounds, the polymer material of propyl cinnamate can be used as a photosensitive material. Therefore, propyl cinnamate can be used as a raw material to synthesize a photochromic dye with a bi-optical functional group. This special dye It can be used as a functional additive for advanced packaging materials, which can enrich the function of the product and enable the appearance of the product to appear colorful in different light environments.

As a new type of raw material in packaging materials, propyl cinnamate is safe, non-toxic, cheap and easy to obtain, which makes the packaging of the product more safe and unique, improves the grade of product packaging, and makes the product more attractive. Also meets the green requirements of today's packaging materials.
