1,3-dioxane

We provide fine quality 1,3-dioxane chemical that is considered either solvent or reagent for chemical processes due to its physical, chemical and toxicological properties. This cyclic reaction product of ethylene glycol and formaldehyde exhibits behavior typical of ethers or acetals as per the conditions. It doesna t exhibit any unusual toxic effects. It is neither explosive nor spontaneously flammable and has no disagreeable odor.

Under neutral or basic conditions, dioxolane has excellent solvent performance characteristics and should be considered as an attractive substitute for chlorinated solvents, ethers and ketones. It is a colorless liquid and it is miscible with water and most common organic solvents. It is a very good solvent for lacquers and resins and can be used for paint remover and thinner. It is also used in mixtures with glycol or glycol ethers to dissolve difficult-to-dissolve components such as pesticides, herbicides and wood preservatives.
