1,8-Octanediol, also known as octamethylene glycol, is a diol with the molecular formula HO(CH)OH, a white solid. It can be produced with high purity by hydrogenation of esters of suberic acid.
1,8-Octanediol, which has a low melting temperature, can be found at high purity for relatively low cost. These characteristics are ideal for a reference material at moderate temperature in the context of solid-liquid Phase-Changing Materials (PCMs).
