1, 2-pentanediol is a straight chain diol, mainly used as a key intermediate of the bactericide propiconazole, and its bactericidal, moisturizing agent, thickening and other multiple properties, often used in skin care products, makeup, shampoo and other personal care products, is also an important raw material for the production of polyester fiber, surfactants, medicine and other products.
At present, 1, 2-pentadiol is mainly prepared by the petrochemical route. During the reaction process, 1, 2-epoxy-pentane, peroxides and other substances will be generated and retained in the chemically synthesized 1, 2-pentadiol, which will irritate the skin and lead to skin allergies and other problems. Natural pentadiol is processed, refined and purified by using corn cob/bagasse as raw materials with higher purity. It is basically tasteless, softer and safer for the skin, and is increasingly sought after by the cosmetic field.
With the increasing recognition of consumers in the field of green no-add cosmetics, 1,2 pentadiol has become a mainstream product in the field of no-add fungicides, and the 12 pentadiol products previously only used in high-end cosmetics systems have gradually expanded the scope of use, and the consumption has grown rapidly.
Natural 1,2 pentadiol is mainly prepared from corn cob, and then hydrogenated and cracked to produce 1,2 pentadiol.
This versatile product is available in both industrial and cosmetic grades and offers a range of advantages.
The industrial grade is used to produce propiconazole, a potent fungicide, while the cosmetic grade is known for its odorless properties and is a widely used ingredient in the cosmetic industry.
