FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Is 1,3-Propanediol (CAS 504-63-2) chemically identical to Propylene Glycol (1,2-Propanediol)?

    A: No, these are structural isomers; this substance has hydroxyl groups at the 1 and 3 positions (C3H8O2), resulting in different reactivity and physical properties compared to 1,2-propanediol.
  • Q:

    What is the main industrial utility of this diol in polymer manufacturing?

    A: It serves as the essential glycol component for synthesizing Polytrimethylene Terephthalate (PTT), a polyester known for its superior stain resistance and elastic recovery in textile applications.
