1.4-Butanediol Applications:

1.4-Butanediol has a wide range of applications. 1.4-butanediol is used as a chain extender and polyester raw material for the production of polyurethane elastomers; esters made from 1,4-butanediol are good plasticizers for cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, polyacrylates and polyesters 1.4-Butanediol has good hygroscopic elasticity. BDO can also prepare N-methylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyrrolidone and other pyrrolidone derivatives, and can also be used in the preparation of vitamin B6, pesticides, herbicides and various process solvents, lubricants, humidifiers, softeners, adhesives and the role of brightening agents, solvents, wetting agents and plasticizers in the electroplating industry. Cross-linking agent, organic synthesis for manufacturing polyurethane with high elasticity. BDO can prepare pyrrolidone derivatives such as N-methylpyrrolidone, N-vinylpyrrolidone, etc. BDO is also used in the preparation of vitamin B6, pesticides and herbicides.

BDO Description:

BDO is a basic organic chemical raw material with high added value and has very wide application in the field of fine chemicals. BDO can produce tetrahydrofuran (THF), γ-butyrolactone (GBL), N-methylpyrrolidone and individual ethyl-pyrrolidone, and is also an important raw material for the production of high-functional poly(dibutyl terephthalate) (PBT) and polyester engineering plastics, elastic fiber, polyester polyol and poly(tetramethylene ether glycol) (PTMEG), polyurethane artificial leather, thermoplastic rubber, adhesive, and an important pharmaceutical raw material for pharmaceuticals. BDO can also be used as a chain extender for polyurethane and unsaturated polyester resin.

BDO Instruction:

BDO is an important raw material for the manufacture of spandex, plastics, elastomers and films. In addition to its use as a commodity chemical, BDO can also be used as a starting chemical for other SA derivatives, such as THF and GBL.

1.4-Butanediol is converted to gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB) in the body. Gamma-hydroxybutyric acid slows down the brain, which can lead to loss of consciousness, while causing dangerous slowdowns in breathing and other vital functions. BDO also stimulates the production of growth hormone.
