DL-1,2-Hexanediol (DL-1,2-Hexanediol/1,2-Hexanediol), CAS No. 6920-22-5, is a multifunctional diol compound with both moisturizing and antiseptic properties, widely used in daily chemicals, pharmaceuticals, inks, and other fields. Detailed information is as follows:
Chemical Formula: C₆H₁₄O₂
Molar Mass: 118.17 g/mol
Appearance: Colorless transparent liquid
Density: 0.951 g/mL (25°C)
Boiling Point: 223-224°C
Refractive Index: 1.441-1.443 (20°C)
Flash Point: 122°C
Solubility: Easily soluble in water, ethanol, ether, etc.; miscible with many organic solvents.
1,2-Hexanediol is soluble in almost all cosmetic materials, which makes it highly compatible in various formulations. One of its notable features is its low irritation, making it suitable for use in products that come into contact with the human body. Additionally, it acts as a natural antiseptic, adding to its value in different applications.
In the cosmetic industry, 1,2-Hexanediol is a multi-functional ingredient. As a humectant, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the skin's moisture balance. It not only preserves hydration but also softens the skin, contributing to a smoother and more supple appearance. Its preservative function is equally important, as it inhibits the growth of bacteria in cosmetic formulations, ensuring the products remain stable and safe for use over an extended period.
Items | Specification |
Appearance | Colorless transparent oily liquid |
Assay% | 99.0%min |
Refractive index | 1.41-1.43 |
Specific Gravity | 0.94-0.958 |
Water | 0.2%max |
As a moisturizer, it has excellent moisture absorption and retention capabilities, enhancing skin hydration. It also possesses mild antibacterial and preservative effects, and can be synergistically combined with traditional preservatives. It is commonly used in creams, serums, masks, shampoos, and other products to improve formula safety and stability.
Used as a solvent and co-solvent in the preparation of ointments, suppositories, and other medications, promoting the dissolution and absorption of active ingredients. It can also be used as an antibacterial ingredient in oral care products to help inhibit harmful bacteria.
Used as a moisturizing diluent for inks and a film-forming aid for coatings, improving the leveling, adhesion, and stability of products, and enhancing printing and coating effects.
It is an intermediate in the synthesis of various fragrances and can be used to formulate fragrances with special aromas, applied in perfumes, air fresheners, and other products.
In the textile industry, it is used as a fabric moisturizing agent to improve the softness and antistatic properties of the fabric; it can also be used as an organic synthesis intermediate to prepare polymer materials such as polyester and polyurethane.
In the inkjet printing industry, its role as a raw material for ink contributes to the production of efficient and high-performance inks. In the cosmetics field, its combined functions of preservation, moisturization, and antibacterial action enhance the quality and safety of products. In the pharmaceutical industry, it serves as a fundamental raw material, supporting the creation of various pharmaceutical products. Its versatility as an intermediate in organic synthesis further expands its applications across different chemical processes.
The product is available in two standard packaging options: 250kg drum or 1400kg IBC tank. This allows for flexibility in handling and transportation, catering to the diverse needs of different customers and industries.
