1, 6-Hexanediol
1, 6-Hexanediol is a hydroxyl-functional chemical substance or chemical grouping identified by the named structure.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
1, 6-Hexanediol (HO CH2 (CH2)4CH2OH) is a colorless crystalline solid that melts at 42 °C and boils at 250 °C. It is soluble in water and is hygroscopic. 1, 6-Hexanediol is a valuable intermediate product for the chemical industry. It finds applications in a variety of polymeric systems and is also used in the synthesis of specialty chemicals. This linear diol contains two primary hydroxyl groups which are terminally located.
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?
