1, 2-hexanediol raw material introduction: Hexanediol, is a biodegradable environmental protection solvent. With very low surface tension, it can significantly improve the wettability of the product in clothing care and hard surface cleaning agents, thus increasing the cleaning capacity. In the personal care formula, it can help the components of different polarities in the formula to form A homogeneous stable formula, with good spreading and slow volatilization, and successfully passed the anti-corrosion A level in the ISO11930:2019 cosmetic anti-corrosion challenge experiment, which can replace some polyols. In the case of gradually stricter laws and regulations in various industries, changes in consumer demand make the formula to be multi-functional, more complex components, formula design challenges increase, in the case of the same efficacy of the formula, but also to meet the company’s economic considerations and market trends, hexanediol has also been simplified, no addition, low carbon emission reduction.
Raw material advantages:

biodegradable
Various PH stabilization
hypotoxicity
Flavor purifying solvent
LVP VOC
non-flammable
Hydrophilic lipophilic equilibrium

Application
