Abstract
The special structure and performance characteristics of 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol and its striking applications progress in unsaturated polyester resin, saturated polyester resin, alkyd resin, polyurethane resin, polyesters coatings, plasticizers, adhesives, printng ink, cover paint of white appliances,personal care products were reviewed. Specially applications in fiber MPO held industry field's interest.Compared to other commercially available dihydroxy alcohols such as propylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 1,4-butanediol and 1,6-hexanediol, 2-methy-1,3-propanediol possessed resistant to crystallization from solutions during storage, higher exterior durability, more compatible with monomers, higher tensile and flexural strengths, higher elongations and so on. So,it was pointed that 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol was a new dihydroxy alcohol, being benefit for environment and of very good applications prospects in the future.
