Cas: 105-05-8

1,4–CycloHexaneDiMethanol Chemical Structure Composition.

1,4–CycloHexaneDiMethanol (1,4 CHDM) is a colorless low-melting solid used  with molecular formula C₈H₁₆O₂.

Production

1,4–CycloHexaneDiMethanol (1,4 CHDM) is produced by catalytic hydrogenation reaction of Dimethyl Terephtalate (DMT) with a Ruthenium catalyst. 

Excellent corrosion resistance in fiberglass, excellent hardness with flexibility, highly reactive hydroxyl groups.

Uses

1,4–CycloHexaneDiMethanol (1,4 CHDM) is mainly used in polyethylene Terephtalate Glycolised (PETG), polyester resins, used as a glycol modifier for resins containing NPG glycol, metal and automotive coating, durable polyester polyol for PU coatings.

In powder coating, enhance low T° resistance & weatherability of coating, and improve the gloss, the hydrolytic stability, plasticity, transparency, printability.
