China and Germany are the leading exporters of 1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether (CAS 16096-31-4), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while the United States, South Korea, and Japan represent the top importing markets. Trade volumes have remained relatively stable through 2023–2024, with modest growth in Asian demand coinciding with steady 1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether prices amid consistent industrial uptake in coatings and epoxy resin applications.
1,6-Hexanediol diglycidyl ether is a colorless to pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid with a mild characteristic odor and low volatility; it has a melting point near −20 °C and a boiling point of approximately 140–150 °C at reduced pressure (1–2 mmHg). It is classified as an aliphatic glycidyl ether and bifunctional epoxy reactive diluent. Primarily used as a reactive diluent and flexibilizer in epoxy resin systems, it reduces viscosity while maintaining epoxy functionality and enhancing toughness. Its main applications are in high-performance coatings, adhesives, encapsulants, and composite matrices—particularly where improved flexibility, reduced shrinkage, and enhanced moisture resistance are required.
Its primary use is as a reactive diluent in epoxy resinsystems to reduce viscosity and to allow higher filler loading.
