Chemical Structure

Basic Info
1 2-Hexanediol, a polyol, is not currently listed as a preserver. It is however defined as a lubricant and penetration aid. Additions of around 5% have a noticeable anti-corrosion impact. Most brands claim that 1 2-Hexanediol is a preservative-free formula and use it to replace preservatives.
It is difficult to tell if 1 2-Hexanediol has a negative antibacterial effect and if it is contaminated after use. The antibacterial effects of 1 2-Hexanediol for products that have been opened cannot be compared with those of preservatives. The shelf life of products without preservatives is conservative due to the difference in the 1 2-Hexanediol environment after sealing and before opening.
The 1 2-hexanediol chemical is widely used as a raw material in color inkjet printers’ ink, in advanced cosmetics and in synthetic materials for the pharmaceutical industry.

Product Packaging

1 2-Hexanediol is an important chemical raw material, widely used in the ink of color inkjet printers, advanced cosmetics, and synthetic materials in the pharmaceutical industry. Currently, Chinese patents related to the application of 12-Hexanediol were mostly applied for by companies from Japan, the United States, Germany, and other countries in China before 2011. After 2014, the number of patent applications by Chinese companies or individuals has increased, but most of them only involve cosmetics.
Application of 1 2-Hexanediol in Ink
Printers are widely used tools in contemporary society, and 1 2-Hexanediol can be used as a raw material for inkjet printing ink in printers, and its use is becoming increasingly widespread.
Canon, Seiko Epson, and others can add 1 2-Hexanediol to ink to obtain ink that is more uniform, ozone resistant, and has excellent gloss.

Procter&Gamble has added 1 2-Hexanediol to its deodorizers and antiperspirants, resulting in better deodorizers/antiperspirants with better skin sensation, transparency, and a gentle effect on the skin.
Ausnutria from the United States has added 1 2-Hexanediol to its eyelid cleansing solution, while Qihuadun Co., Ltd. and Fangke Co., Ltd. from Japan have also added 1 2-Hexanediol to their skin care compositions as a substitute for other antibacterial preservatives.
Dow Global Technologies uses 1 2 Hexanediol instead of alcohol to add to perfume to reduce skin irritation, and because of its excellent solvent and solubilization ability, it can also obtain products with high stability when reducing the use of surfactants.
Chinese cosmetics companies have also added 1 2-Hexanediol to cosmetics, which can kill bacteria, prevent corrosion, and has less irritation to the skin, improving the safety of skincare products.
