2-Methyl-1,3-Propanediol (MP Diol)

2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid with low toxicity. Its unique molecular structure, a branched aliphatic diol with two primary hydroxyls, prevents crystallization, keeping it liquid even in cold temperatures. Common applications include the manufacturing of unsaturated polyester resin, saturated polyester, alkyd resin, polyurethane, plasticizer, 2-Methyl-propylene glycol diacrylate, 2-Methyl-propylene glycol alkoxylate diacrylate, 2-Methyl-propylene glycol alkoxylate, polyester polyol, modified PET for fiber and bottles, and personal care products.

Properties Of 2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol

Applications of 2-Methyl-1,3-Propanediol (MP Diol)

• MP Diol in Polyurethane Production: MP diol is widely used as a chain extender and crosslinking agent in the production of polyurethane polymers. It enhances the flexibility, durability, and mechanical properties of polyurethane foams, elastomers, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. MP diol-based polyurethanes find applications in automotive, construction, furniture, and footwear industries.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: Due to its humectant and emollient properties, MP diol is incorporated into cosmetics and personal care products such as skincare creams, lotions, hair conditioners, and moisturizers. It helps improve skin hydration, texture, and product stability, making it suitable for use in various cosmetic formulations.
• Industrial Cleaning and Degreasing: MP diol serves as a solvent and cleaning agent in industrial cleaners, degreasers, and solvent formulations. It effectively removes oils, greases, and contaminants from surfaces and equipment in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and maintenance applications. MP diol-based cleaners are valued for their low toxicity and environmental compatibility.
• Polyester Resins: In the production of polyester resins, MP diol is used as a monomer or co-monomer in combination with other diols and dibasic acids. It contributes to the formation of high-performance resins with improved flexibility, chemical resistance, and weatherability. MP diol-based polyester resins are utilized in coatings, adhesives, composites, and molding applications.
• Antifreeze and Coolant Formulations: MP diol is employed as a component in antifreeze and coolant formulations for automotive and industrial cooling systems. It acts as a freeze point depressant and heat transfer fluid, providing protection against freezing and overheating in engine coolant systems.
• Textile Finishing: MP diol is used in textile finishing processes as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent for fabrics and fibers. It enhances the hand feel, drapability, and static resistance of textiles, making them suitable for apparel, home furnishings, and industrial applications.
