1,2-Pentanediol (Pentylene Glycol) CAS 5343-92-0 | Bastone

General Information

Technical Properties

Cosmetics and personal care formulators rely heavily on 1,2-pentanediol as a highly effective moisturizing agent and solubilizer. The diol structure binds water efficiently, improving skin hydration while simultaneously helping to dissolve active ingredients into clear formulations. Its identical profile to Hydrolite 5 green makes it an ideal humectant for green-certified skincare lines and clean-beauty brands requiring plant-derived ingredients.

Industrial polymer manufacturers consume bulk 1,2-pentanediol to produce unsaturated polyester resins, oil-free alkyd resins, and polyurethane foams. The chemical acts as an excellent plasticizer for elastomers, improving flexibility and low-temperature performance in the final polymer matrix. Factory engineers value the consistent purity of our Hangzhou-produced batches, which prevents unwanted side reactions during polymerization.

Lubricant and aviation fluid producers incorporate our pentylene glycol into advanced synthetic oil additives. The chemical functions effectively as a surfactant and polymerization inhibitor in these demanding, high-temperature environments. Printing ink manufacturers and insulation material producers also depend on its specific solvent properties to control viscosity and drying times on the production line.

In the agricultural chemical sector, 1,2-pentanediol serves as a critical intermediate molecule. Chemical synthesis plants use the diol to manufacture propiconazole, a widely deployed agricultural fungicide. High purity levels from our manufacturing plant ensure maximum yield and minimal waste during the complex propiconazole synthesis process.

BASTONE operates as the direct manufacturer of 1,2-pentanediol, producing every batch at our dedicated Hangzhou facility. Controlling the entire production process allows our R&D-oriented chemical group to enforce strict quality control protocols from raw material intake to final drumming. Buyers bypass trading company markups and secure material directly from the factory floor.

Our pricing structure delivers a distinct competitive edge for procurement teams managing tight budgets. By offering a 100% identical alternative to Symrise's Hydrolite 5 green at a 15% lower cost, we help manufacturers protect their profit margins. You receive the exact same chemical performance, molecular structure, and bio-based credentials without paying the brand-name price tag.
