1,6-hexanediol composition and polymer

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a 1,6-hexanediol composition that can improve the hydrolysis resistance of a polymer obtained using a 1,6-hexanediol composition as a reaction raw material, and a polymer obtained by reacting the 1,6-hexanediol composition. The invention relates to a 1,6-hexanediol composition containing either or both of 1,6-hexanediol and a 1,6-hexanediol derivative, and an alkali metal element, in which the total content of the alkali metal element with respect to the total amount of the composition is in the range of 0.1 to 1000 ppm by mass, and the composition has an acid value in the range of 0.001 to 1.0 mg KOH/g.
