2-Methyl-1, 3-Propanediol
2-Methyl-1, 3-Propanediol is a hydroxyl-functional chemical substance or chemical grouping identified by the named structure.
Product & engineering
Understand the product.
2-Methyl-1,3-Propanediol, also called 1,3-Dihydroxyisobutane, 1,3-Dihydroxy-2-methylpropane, 2-Methylpropan-1,3-diol or MP Diol, is a by-product which is produced by hybroformylation, hydorgenation of Ally Alcohol, carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
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.
