Hexylene Glycol Used in the Cosmetic
Industry
Hexylene glycol is used as an efficient, mild preservative booster and humectant, and is widely applied in skincare products, shampoos, and baby care products.
Hexylene Glycol Used in the Coating and Inking Industry
Hexylene glycol is a low-volatility, good-solvency solvent for nitrocellulose, acrylics, and epoxies. It improves leveling, prevents film blushing, and slows drying as a retarder.
Hexylene Glycol Used in the Pesticide Industry
Hexylene glycol can be used as a pesticide stabilizer and fabric penetrant, helping to uniformly disperse active ingredients and enhance adhesion performance, thereby improving insecticidal or herbicidal efficacy while also helping to reduce environmental impact.
Hexylene Glycol Used in the Chemical Manufacturing Industry
Hexylene glycol is used as an intermediate in organic synthesis for the preparation of alcohol ethers, esters, and fragrances.
Hexylene Glycol Used in the Leather and Paper Industry
Hexylene glycol is used as a penetrant aid in paper and leather processing.
