  • Applications

    Decane-1,1-diol (CAS 27030-32-6) is a long-chain geminal diol used primarily as a difunctional building block in polymer formulations. In practice it is evaluated as a diol extender and crosslinking component for polyurethanes, polyesters and related resins, contributing to mechanical properties and flexibility. It can function as a solvent or reactive diluent in coatings and inks, aiding viscosity control and processing. It also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty plasticizers and related additives for industrial formulations. In cosmetics and household products, it may act as a solvent or emollient component within formulation systems, while in cleaning products it can serve as a co-solvent or processing aid, all subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
