Chemical formula: C6H14O2

Hexanediol is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H14O2 and the common structural formula HO (CH2) 4OH. The following is an introduction to the properties, uses, production methods, and safety information of hexanediol:
Nature:
-Hexanediol is a colorless and odorless viscous liquid with hygroscopicity.
-It is soluble in water at room temperature, as well as in alcohol and ether solvents.
-The melting point of hexanediol is about -10 ° C and the boiling point is about 198 ° C.
-It can form hydrogen bonds, giving it a high boiling and melting point.

Usage:
-Hexanediol is mainly used to manufacture polyethers (such as polyols), in order to prepare synthetic materials such as polyester fibers, plastics, and polyurethane.
-It is also widely used in the manufacturing of coatings, solvents, dyes, paints, antifreeze, cosmetics, adhesives, detergents and many other industrial products.

Method:
-Hexanediol is usually obtained by catalytic hydrogenation of hydroxyhexanoic acid or caprolactone with nicotine butanol.
-During the preparation process, hydrogen gas and suitable catalysts are generally required to react at appropriate temperature and pressure. The preparation method also includes reacting epoxy hexane with water to obtain.

Security information:
-Hexanediol is considered a relatively safe compound under normal use.
-However, direct contact with hexanediol may cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Therefore, suitable protective equipment such as gloves and goggles should be worn during operation and handling.
-During use and storage, contact with strong oxidants and acids should be avoided to prevent dangerous reactions.
-If ingested, inhaled, or in contact with skin, hexanediol should be immediately washed and medical assistance sought.
