Description

2,2'-[Cyclohexane-1,4-Diylbis(Oxy)]Bisethanol CAS NO 16394-44-8 is a high-purity diol derivative of cyclohexane, valued for its unique cyclic structure and bifunctional hydroxyl groups. This compound serves as a versatile and critical building block in advanced polymer synthesis and specialty chemical manufacturing. It is primarily sought after by formulators and researchers in the pharmaceutical, polymer, and high-performance materials industries for its role as a monomer, cross-linking agent, or intermediate.

Application

• Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and polycarbonates, imparting rigidity and chemical resistance to the final polymer.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and prodrugs, where its diol functionality allows for further chemical modifications.
• Cross-linking Agent: Functions as a cross-linker in epoxy resin systems, coatings, and adhesives to enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength.
• Liquid Crystal Materials: Serves as a core component in the synthesis of monomers for liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) and display materials.
• Surface Active Agents: Utilized as a precursor for non-ionic surfactants and emulsifiers with specific solubility profiles.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a starting material for further reactions such as esterification, etherification, and halogenation to create more complex molecules.
