What is 2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol CAS 2163-42-0?

2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol can be used to manufacture unsaturated polyesters, liquid saturated polyesters, thermoplastic polyester resins (modification of PET and PBT), alkyd resins, polyurethane resins, diester plasticizers, lubricants, etc. Methyl propane diol (MP Diol) is also used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The resulting polymer has low viscosity, low melting point, low temperature resistance, and weather resistance.

Application

1. Unsaturated Polyester Resin (UPR): This is its primary application. As a raw material for the production of high-performance unsaturated polyester resins, 2-methyl-3-propanediol imparts superior properties to traditional diols such as ethylene glycol and propylene glycol, resulting in widespread applications in artificial stone, fiberglass, coatings, automotive parts, and other fields.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products.

3. Solvents and Humectants: Due to its excellent solubility and low irritation properties, MPDIOL MPD is commonly used in products such as serums, lotions, emulsions, and facial masks to help dissolve active ingredients and provide a light, moisturizing feel.

4. Propylene Glycol Alternative: For some people who are allergic to propylene glycol, methylpropylene glycol is a milder and safer alternative.

5. Drugs and Drug Delivery Systems: In the pharmaceutical industry, MP Diol is used as a solvent and carrier to improve the solubility and efficacy of certain poorly soluble drugs.

6. High-Performance Plasticizer: Methyl propane diol (MP Diol) is used to produce new, environmentally friendly plasticizers with low volatility and minimal migration, and can be used in materials such as PVC.

7. Synthetic Intermediates: As a chemical intermediate, 2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPO) can be used to synthesize polyurethane, surfactants, lubricants, and other derivatives.

8. Industrial Solvents: As a polar solvent, 2-Methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPO) can be used in inks, coatings, cleaning agents, and other fields.
