1,5-Pentanediol is used as a plasticizer in cellulose products and adhesives. It is used as a brake fluid additive. It reacts with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran to get 5-tetrahydropyran-2-yloxy-pentan-1-ol. It is also used to prepare polyesters for emulsifying agents and resin intermediates. Further, it is used in ink, toner and colorant products. In addition to this, it is used in brake fluid compositions.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
