1-3 PROPANEDIOL: BIO BASED PROPANE DIOL

CAS Number: 504-63-2
Empirical Formula: C3H8O2

1-3 Propanediol: Bio-Based Propane

This chemical is the simplest of the propane 1-3 diols. It contains propane, in which singular hydrogen from every methyl group is exchanged for a hydroxy group. It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 210℃ and is a primary ingredient in heat-transfer fluids. 1-3 Propanediol is also used as a protic solvent and in synthesizing polymers.

Benefits of Bio-Based 1-3 Propanediol

Gantrade 1-3 Propanediol has many benefits. It can help businesses fulfill sustainability goals and reduce their carbon footprint without compromising the quality of their products.  Some additional benefits include:

• Sustainably and renewably sourced
• Generates fewer gas emissions than the alternative of 1,4-Butanediol
• Pure chemical
• Non-toxic
• Food-safe
• Petroleum-free 

Industrial Uses of Bio-Based 1-3 Propanediol

Gantrade Propanediol is a crucial building block for many applications, including polyurethanes, heat-transfer fluids, and unsaturated polyester resins. It can be used as a solvent and stabilizer in thin films and as a reactant to prepare 7,8-Benzoquinoline.

The chemical functions as a food-safe glycol for heating and cooling, and it can replace propylene glycol while providing improved performance for fluid manufacturers. It can also be used in solar and geothermal systems and engine coolants.

Bio-based 1-3 Propanediol gives manufacturers flexibility when they need a high-performance product solution.
