APPLICATIONS |
||
|
The chemical structure of polymethylated hydrocarbon chain have limited water
solubility, while alcohol groups introduce the improved hydrophilic solubility
performance. Hexylene glycol can provide the proper balance of target properties
when solvent-based solvents are formulated for desired viscosity, flowing and
leveling, and curing rate and can be used as coupling agents in waterborne
coatings. It is used as a coupling agent in the manufacture of hydraulic fluids,
cleaner compounds. The hydroxyl group will undergo reaction with aldehydes (or
ketones) to produce hemiacetals (or acetals), with epoxides to produce polyether
alcohols, with halogenating agents to produce alkoxy alkyl halides, with
carboxylic acid compounds or inorganic acids to produce a number of
esters.
