1,6-Hexanediol also known as hexamethylene glycol, is an organic compound with the formula (CH2CH2CH2OH)2 and is manufactured by the hydrogenation of adipic acid or cyclohexane. Although 1-6- Hexanediol is commonly used to manufacture polyurethane and polyester and is also used as raw material for polyurethane coating, polycarbonate diol resins, and polyester resins. It offers several properties like flexibility and hardness, due to this it is utilized in the manufacturing of consumer applications like toner, color products, ink, paints, and coating products. Moreover, It is generally considered safe because of its low toxicity and flammability hence it is used as a reactive thinner for the production of epoxy systems which are utilized for the manufacturing of rotor blades for wind turbines. However, the other names of 1,6-Hexanediol are Hexane-1,6, Hexamethylene glycol, Hexamethylenediol, 629-11-8, and 1,6- Dihydroxyhexane.
Increasing the use of 1,6- hexanediol in polyurethane propels the growth of the market. Polyurethane is used in several applications like furniture, elastomers, footwear, coating, straps, medical instruments, building & construction, packaging, electronics, and others. Further, a robust increase in demand for medical devices and the automotive sector help to expand the polyurethane market. Because of its resistance to extreme temperatures microbes, it is broadly used in several applications also it improves hardness and flexibility, rising the demand for 1,6-HDO in polyurethane.
Difficulties in the storage and transportation of 1,6-Hexanediol are expected to hinder the growth of the market. Due to its high hygroscopicity, 1,6-HDO is difficult for both storage and transportation. For that, strong precautions are required to prevent it from humidity. The material must be stored in warm, dry areas. It needs a temperature of around 55 °C. It has to be kept in cold and dry places because it is sensitive to high temperatures. To avoid material degradation, it should also be kept away from the light because it is sensitive to light, especially UV radiation. Moreover, it needs proper measures to handle because it may irritate the eyes, mucous membranes, and respiratory tract.
The outbreak of Covid-19 has adverse impact on the 1,6-Hexanediol market growth. The pandemic causes significant disruption in the supply chains due to lockdown measures, and travel restrictions. This restriction affected the availability and transportation of raw materials necessary for the production of 1,6-HDO. Industries like automotive, and construction, experienced a slowdown due to economic uncertainty, which led to a decline in the demand for polyurethane and 1,6-HDO.
1,6-HDO manufacture and use have now resumed as 1,6-HDO consumer industries like automobile, construction, and packaging are restarted. The government released border restriction laws and regulations, which lessened the disturbance to business operations and the supply chain. Distribution, supply chain, and production of polyurethane, as well as 1,6-HDO also returned to their pre-pandemic level.
