Understanding Methyl Paraben
Methyl Paraben, chemically known as methyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, is the methyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid. It appears as a white, crystalline powder and is renowned for its preservative properties. This compound is synthesized through the esterification of p-hydroxybenzoic acid with methanol, typically in the presence of an acid catalyst. For more information visit.
