Grades: Industrial
Form: Crystals
Category: Products
synonyms: Hexamethylenediol
CAS#: 629-11-8
Packing:


1,6 Hexanediol is produced by the hydrogination of adipic acid. It can improve the hardness and flexibility of polyesters owing to its long hydrocarbon chain. In polyurethanes, it is used as a chain extender. The resulting modified polyurethane has high resistance to hydrolysis and improved mechanical strength with a low glass transition temperature.

Minimum orders are typically one drum for liquid materials and pallets for materials that ship in bags. Availability varies. Please call for details.
