3-Methyl-1,5-Pentanediol
3-Methyl-1,5-Pentanediol is a hydroxyl-functional chemical substance or chemical grouping identified by the named structure.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
3-Methyl-1,5-Pentanediol (CAS 4457-71-0) is low viscosity liquid with an unique molecular structure: a branched aliphatic diol with two primary hydroxyls. It offers significant advantages in a vast range of applications. MPD is liquid even at very low temperatures. It yields very low viscosity derivatives. It provides excellent handling advantages particularly in polyurethane resin applications. MPD's blanched molecular structure yields non crystalline polymers such as polyester and polyurethane resins. The unique non crystallizing nature of MPD-adipate based polyurethane resins provides significant advantages to manufacturers and consumers of these resins such as softness, excellent durability, broader solvent compatibility, good transparency, excellent stain resistance and improved mold resistance.
Positional and stereochemical identity, assay, water content and supplied form distinguish the material. A diol feedstock, formulated resin and finished polymer article have different commercial boundaries.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which isomer identity and supplied specification define the diol?
Positional and stereochemical identity, assay, water content and supplied form distinguish the material. A diol feedstock, formulated resin and finished polymer article have different commercial boundaries.
