Properties and Usage:
2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) is an organic compound with solvent properties and the ability to act as a coupling agent.
Other names: Hexanediol, 2-methylpentane-2,4-diol
1. Industrial solvent
2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) is a commonly used solvent in the manufacture of coatings, inks, and dyes. It not only improves the fluidity and adhesion of coatings and inks, but also effectively removes grease in detergent formulations; improves the fluidity of coatings.
2. Coupling agent and emulsifier
As an efficient coupling agent, MPD plays an important role in emulsification formulations and enhances the stability of emulsions. This property makes it widely used in products such as paints, varnishes, and adhesives.
3. Chemical intermediates
In the plastics industry, MPD can be used as a monomer to participate in polymerization reactions to prepare certain types of polyesters and polyethers. MPD is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemicals, including plasticizers, resins, and lubricants.
Polyurethane production: Due to its multifunctional properties, MPD can be used as a component of polyurethane prepolymers to increase the elasticity and durability of the final product.
4. Antifreeze
MPD can effectively reduce the freezing point of aqueous solutions and is an antifreeze agent in industrial cooling systems and an antifreeze agent for motor oil.
5. Additives
MPD is also used in metal surface treatment agents as an additive for rust removal and oil removal. It can also be used as a textile auxiliaries.
