The performance of modern adhesives and coatings hinges on the careful selection of their constituent chemical ingredients. Among these, 1,6-Hexanediol (CAS 629-11-8) plays a significant role, particularly in formulations that require enhanced flexibility, adhesion, and durability. As a prominent manufacturer and supplier of this versatile chemical intermediate from China, we understand its critical contributions to these demanding applications.

1,6-Hexanediol, a linear diol with two hydroxyl functional groups, serves as a valuable building block in the synthesis of various polymers and oligomers used in adhesive and coating formulations. Its presence can influence key characteristics such as:

  • Flexibility: The six-carbon aliphatic chain of 1,6-Hexanediol introduces a degree of chain mobility into polymer backbones, leading to improved flexibility in the final adhesive or coating. This is crucial for applications that experience stress, vibration, or expansion/contraction due to temperature changes.
  • Adhesion: By reacting with other monomers, 1,6-Hexanediol can contribute to the development of polymers with enhanced surface wetting and bonding capabilities, crucial for strong adhesion to a variety of substrates.
  • Durability and Resistance: When incorporated into polymer structures, 1,6-Hexanediol can improve resistance to hydrolysis, chemical attack, and mechanical wear, extending the lifespan and performance of the adhesive or coating.
  • UV-Curing Applications: In the formulation of UV-curable coatings and adhesives, 1,6-Hexanediol is often used to synthesize reactive diluents or oligomers. Its inclusion contributes to low viscosity, fast curing speeds, and excellent film properties.
