Odorless 1,2-alkanediol chemical stabilization: SymriseRecent Research Landscape

Inconsistent purity levels in diol-based chain extenders lead to unpredictable polymer mechanical properties. Precise control over pentanediol isomer ratios ensures batch-to-batch consistency in high-performance coatings and elastomers.

What technical problems is Symrise addressing in Odorless 1,2-alkanediol chemical stabilization?

Malodorous impurity formation

(5)evidences

Residual byproducts and degradation during synthesis create offensive scents in 1,2-alkanediols. Eliminating these impurities ensures suitability for high-purity cosmetic and dermatological applications.

Malodorous impurity formation

(4)evidences

Residual impurities and degradation products in 1,2-alkanediols create offensive scents that limit their use in sensitive formulations. Eliminating these odors allows for higher concentration applications in fragrance-free products.
