1,3-Propanediol

Description:
1,3-Propanediol, with the CAS number 504-63-2, is a colorless, odorless, and hygroscopic liquid that serves as a diol or glycol. It is a simple aliphatic compound with the molecular formula C3H8O2, featuring two hydroxyl (-OH) groups located on the first and third carbon atoms of the three-carbon chain. This structure imparts it with properties typical of polyols, such as high solubility in water and various organic solvents. 1,3-Propanediol is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it an attractive alternative to petroleum-based glycols in various applications. It is commonly used as a solvent, humectant, and in the production of polymers, particularly polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT), which is utilized in textiles and plastics. Additionally, it has applications in cosmetics and personal care products due to its moisturizing properties. Its production can be achieved through fermentation processes using renewable resources, aligning with sustainable practices in chemical manufacturing.
