Use | 1, 2-hexanediol is a glycol with refreshing feeling and excellent antibacterial properties. It is also an alkanediol, a polyol with high antibacterial properties. Polyols have extremely high moisture absorption and water retention, so they are the most commonly used moisturizers in cosmetics. 1, 2-hexanediol is used in fine chemicals (such as cosmetics, advanced inks, advanced paints, advanced glues, etc.) and pharmaceuticals due to its good solubility, non-corrosive, antibacterial and moisturizing properties. Can promote moisturizing and penetration. When the addition amount is about 5%, it has anti-corrosion effect. |
