China, the United States, and Germany are the leading exporters of 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol (CAS 105-08-8), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in recent years; major importers include South Korea, Taiwan, and Mexico, reflecting strong demand from regional polymer and coating manufacturers. Export volumes from China have expanded steadily since 2022, while 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol prices have remained relatively stable amid moderate demand growth and consistent production capacity.
1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) is a white, crystalline solid at room temperature with a mild, characteristic odor; it has a melting point of approximately 95–100 °C and low volatility. It is a saturated aliphatic diol and classified as an organic chemical intermediate. CHDM is primarily used as a comonomer in the production of polyesters—especially polyethylene terephthalate (PET) copolymers—to enhance clarity, toughness, and thermal stability. Its main commercial applications are in high-performance engineering thermoplastics, specialty coatings, and polyester resins for packaging, optical films, and medical devices.
1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is used to make polyester fiber, polyester electrical appliances, unsaturated polyester resins, polyester glaze, polyurethane foam, as well as for the production of lubricants and hydraulic fluids. 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol Preparation Products And Raw materials Raw materials
