CHDM (Cyclohexanedimethanol)
As a white waxy solid, CHDM is an important organic chemical raw material. Its molecular formula is C8H16O2 and its molecular weight is 144.21. CHDM has two isomers, namely, cis and trans. The trans proportion structure is relatively symmetric, the lattice structure is regular, the lattice energy is high, the melting point is high, and the heat resistance of the product is good. When it is used in the production of pet products such as PETG, the higher the trans proportion is, the higher the heat resistance of the pet will be.
