Product Description
This diol is a white crystalline solid carrying two tertiary hydroxyl groups. Owing to its molecular symmetry and the reactive tertiary alcohol sites it provides, it serves as an essential building block for organic peroxides, pyrethroid insecticides, synthetic musks, and polymer crosslinking agents.
Key Features:
Offered as white crystalline flakes, which simplifies handling and accurate weighing.
Two tertiary hydroxyl groups deliver favorable reactivity toward esterification and peroxide formation.
A symmetric molecular framework that supports the construction of symmetric peroxide crosslinkers.
Poor solubility in benzene, carbon tetrachloride, and hydrocarbons, while dissolving readily in polar solvents.
Sublimes upon heating, which makes purification straightforward.
High-purity grades on offer to meet fine-chemical and polymer-grade requirements.
