BASF Golpanol HD 3-Hexyne-2,5-diol – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Number for BASF Golpanol HD 3-Hexyne-2,5-diol?

A: The CAS Registry Number is 71-91-0.


Q2: What is the typical dosage range in water-based coatings?

A: Recommended dosage is 0.05–0.3 wt% active substance relative to total formulation, depending on foam severity and shear conditions.


Q3: How does Golpanol HD compare to silicone-based antifoams?

A: Unlike silicones, Golpanol HD offers superior compatibility in high-shear, low-surface-tension systems, eliminates risk of substrate contamination (e.g., craters in coatings), and meets stringent VOC and regulatory requirements for eco-label certifications.


Q4: Is Golpanol HD subject to migration or extraction in food-contact applications?

A: Golpanol HD is not approved for direct food-contact applications; it is intended for industrial process use only. Migration testing data are not available for food packaging or processing equipment contact scenarios.


Q5: Does Golpanol HD require special handling or storage conditions?

A: Store in original sealed container at 5–30 °C, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid freezing; if solidified, warm gently to ≥25 °C with stirring — full activity is restored without degradation.
