C4H10O2 Introduction:

C4H10O2 is a human poison by an unspecified route. Moderately toxic byingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Human systemic effects: altered sleep time. Combustible when exposed to heat or flame. To fight fire, use alcohol foam, mist, foam, CO2, dry chemical. Incompatible with oxidizing materials. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes. Highly flammable. This C4H10O2 chemical is hygroscopic. Water soluble.

1.4-Butanediol Application purpose：

C4H10O2 and its derivatives is used in a broad spectrum of applications in the petrochemicals and relevant products industry. Amongst others in the manufacturing of technical plastics, polyurethanes, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibres.
1,4-Butanediol is used in the synthesis of epothilones, a new class of cancer drugs. Also used in the stereoselective synthesis of (-)-Brevisamide.
1,4-Butanediol’s largest use is within tetrahydrofuran (THF) production, used to make polytetramethylene ether glycol. Which goes mainly into spandex fibers, urethane elastomers, and copolyester ethers.

BDO is commonly used as a solvent in the chemical industry to manufacture gamma-butyrolactone and elastic fibers like spandex.
1.4-Butanediol is used as a cross-linking agent for thermoplastic urethanes, polyester plasticizers, paints and coatings.
1.4-Butanediol undergoes dehydration in the presence of phosphoric acid yielded teterahydrofuran, which is an important solvent used for various applications.
1.4-Butanediol acts an intermediate and is used to manufacture polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyurethane (PU).
It finds application as an industrial cleaner and a glue remover.
1,4-butanediol is also used as a plasticiser (e.g. in polyesters and cellulosics), as a carrier solvent in printing ink, a cleaning agent, an adhesive (in leather, plastics, polyester laminates and polyurethane footwear), in agricultural and veterinary chemicals and in coatings (in paints, varnishes and films).
