1,6-Hexanediol Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- HDO
- Hexamethylene Glycol
- 1,6-Dihydroxyhexane
- Hexane-1,6-Diol
1,6-Hexanediol is a linear aliphatic diol supplied for industrial formulation and intermediate manufacture in Malaysia. Also known as HDO, hexamethylene glycol and hexane-1,6-diol, it has two terminal hydroxyl groups and must be identified by the 1,6 isomer number when enquiring.
Commercial requirements may call for flake, prill or molten 1,6-hexanediol, with technical, polyester, low-water or low-colour specifications selected around the process. Buyers should state the required purity, water, colour and physical form rather than relying on an unqualified hexanediol description.
Applications include polyester and polycarbonate polyols, polyurethane elastomers and coatings, saturated and unsaturated polyester resins, adhesives, plasticisers and acrylate intermediate manufacture. 1,2-Hexanediol, 2,5-hexanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, neopentyl glycol and 1,4-butanediol are separate chemicals, while hexanediol diacrylate is a derivative rather than a grade of HDO.

1,6-Hexanediol applications
Common questions about 1,6-hexanediol
Which form of 1,6-hexanediol should I specify?
Flake and prill suit solid handling systems, while molten material suits processes equipped for heated transfer. State the receiving and dosing setup with the enquiry.
Is 1,6-hexanediol the same as 1,2-hexanediol?
No. They are different positional isomers with separate commercial uses, so a requirement for 1,2-hexanediol should not be ordered as 1,6-hexanediol.
What specifications should accompany a 1,6-hexanediol enquiry?
Provide the required purity, water, colour, physical form and any application-specific test limits. These details allow the quoted grade and documents to be matched to the process.
Where is 1,6-hexanediol commonly used?
Common uses include polyester and polycarbonate polyols, polyurethane elastomers and coatings, polyester resins, adhesives, plasticisers and acrylate intermediate manufacture.
How are packing and documents confirmed?
Send the quantity, delivery location and required documentation with the enquiry. Packing options and document availability are confirmed with the quotation.
