1,5-Pentanediol (PDO) CAS 111-29-5 Purity ≥98.5% (GC)

1,5-Pentanediol (PDO) (CAS: 111-29-5) as a linear diol for the production of various resin types.
Adhesives and Sealants
1,5-Pentanediol is used in the production of polyester and polyurethane (polyester polyol and polycarbonate diol) resins. The flexibility and adhesive properties are valuable in these applications.
Coatings
In polyesters and polyurethane (polyester polyol and polycarbonate diol), 1,5-Pentanediol contributes a good balance between hardness and flexibility, adhesion, weatherability or hydrolysis resistance.
1,5-Pentanediol is a raw material used in polyurethane coatings, polyester resins, and polycarbonate diol resins. Because of its low melting point, it is easier to handle than 1,6-hexanediol. The chemical structure of 1,5-Pentanediol, which contains terminally located hydroxyl groups, makes it highly reactive and useful for the manufacture of a variety of derivatives.
1,5-pentanediol is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, is used as a pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediate.
1,5-pentanediol is a chemical intermediate, and has applications in inks, coatings, plasticizers and as a solvent.
1,5-Pentanediol used as solvent for cutting oils, special detergents, latex paints, solvents or wetting agents for printing ink. It is also used in the manufacture of plasticizers, brake oils, alkyd resins, polyurethane resins, etc.
1,5-Pentanediol is used as plasticizer and also forms polyesters that are used as emulsifying agents and resin intermediates.
