HDO® 1,6-Hexanediol HM LowPCF

HDO® is a versatile diol precursor from the group alkanediols; it is colorless and crystalline solid.

General

Adhesives
HDO® as a building block for resins used for adhesives providing flexibility and adhesion.

Coatings
HDO® as a building block for the production of polyester and polyurethane resins. Good balance between hardness and flexibility, adhesion, weatherability or hydrolysis resistance.

Others
HDO is also applied in the manufacturing process of radiation-curable coatings, polycarbonate diols and as a reactive thinner for the formulation of epoxy systems which are used for the efficient production of rotor blades for modern wind turbines.
