Alcohols and polyols

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.

(±)-1,3-Butanediol acts as a co-monomer in the production of polyurethane and polyester resins. It is used as a humectant (to prevent loss of moisture) in cosmetics, especially in hair sprays and setting lotions. It is used in surfactants, inks, solvents for natural and synthetic flavorings.

It has been tested with CHO, L929, and Vero cell lines and can be used for other cell culture applications. A method for HPLC identification and quantitation has been achieved by this chemical. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio.
