CAS 556-48-9|1,4-Cyclohexanediol

1,4-Cyclohexanediol is a colorless crystalline solid that is highly hygroscopic and soluble in water, ethanol and ether solvents. It has a sweet taste and the hydroxyl (-OH) functional group it contains makes it highly chemically reactive.
1,4-Cykloheksanodiol, 99% is widely used in the chemical industry. It is mainly used as a solvent, lubricant and plasticizer.

Synthetic high-performance polyester materials: 1,4-cyclohexanediol is an important monomer for synthesizing high-performance polyesters. By reacting with terephthalic acid, etc., polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexane glycol ester (PCTG) and polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol ester (PETG) can be prepared.
‌Pharmaceutical intermediates: 1,4-cyclohexanediol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate used to synthesize key raw materials such as new drugs and biocontroller markers.

‌Other applications: In addition, 1,4-cyclohexanediol can also be used as an additive for coating production, high-end liquid crystal materials, packaging materials, and modified raw materials for engineering plastics.
