In 2025, global sales volume of 1-Propargyl Glycerol Ether (POPDH) was approximately 550 tons, with a mainstream ex-works price of around US$12.5/kg and gross margins of major producers generally ranging from 30% to 45%.
1-Propargyl Glycerol Ether (POPDH) is a glycerol ether fine chemical containing an alkynyl structure. Its common English name is 1-Propargyl Glycerol Ether, while its technical name is 3-Prop-2-ynoxypropane-1,2-diol. It has a CAS number of 13580-38-6 and a molecular formula of C6H10O3. In pure form, it is generally a colorless to slightly yellow viscous liquid at room temperature, while the mainstream industrial supply form is a 50% active-content aqueous solution. The product is readily soluble in water and alcohol solvents and shows good application stability in conventional acidic nickel plating systems. Its molecular structure contains an alkynyl active site, an ether bond, and a vicinal dihydroxy structure, enabling it to provide synergistic brightening, leveling, and low-current-density area improvement in nickel plating additive systems. It is a dedicated functional intermediate used to optimize low-current-density performance in nickel plating auxiliary systems.
Its upstream production mainly involves fine chemical processes such as propargylation, etherification, purification, and formulation. The raw material side is related to propargyl-based raw materials, glycerol derivatives, alkaline catalysts, solvents, and auxiliary systems. Downstream applications are mainly concentrated in nickel plating additives, metal surface treatment, fine chemical intermediates, and functional material modification. Among these, nickel plating additives represent the core application area. POPDH is typically used as a functional component in nickel plating brighteners, leveling agents, and low-current-density brightening auxiliaries to improve coating appearance, leveling performance, and the synergistic performance of electroplating bath formulations.
