there are lots of active glycols but our hexanediol-1,6 plays both ends with the middle
It's a long way between hydroxy! groups in our hexane diol-1,6. You'll find them at both ends of a six-carbon chain. The result of this structure is a linear diol that im parts flexibility and toughness when used in place of some or all of the glycol you're now u s i n g . . . in polyesters, polyurethanes and polycarbonates. Saturated polyesters of hexanediol-1,6 are excellent plasticizers for polyvinylchloride, and of considerable po tential in formulating hot-melt adhesives and urethane products such as elastomers, fibers, coatings, and flexible foams. • And consider hexanediol-1,6 for chain extending ure thane prepolymers and preparing unique polyethers, low 8
