Product Name:1,4-Butanediol
Description: The 1,4-Butanediol is a colorless, viscous, liquid-like substance that reacts with strong oxidants. It is an important basic organic chemical used in the production of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) , polyurethane, gamma-butyrolactone and oxolane.
Uses: 1,4-Butanediol has a wide range of uses. More than half is used in the US and Western Europe to produce oxolane, followed by gamma-butyrolactone and polybutylene terephthalate, a rapidly developing engineering plastic; 4-butanediol as a chain-increasing agent and polyester raw materials for the production of polyurethane elastomers and flexible polyurethane foam; 1, 4-butanediol esters are good chemical book plasticizers for cellulose, polyvinyl chloride, Polyacrylic acid esters and polyesters. The 1,4-Butanediol has good hygroscopicity and flexibility. It can be used as a softening agent and absorbent for gelatin, cellophane and other unused paper. N-N-methylpyrrolidin-2-one, N-vinyl pyrrolidone and other pyrrolidone derivatives can also be prepared, it is also used to prepare vitamin B6, pesticides, herbicides, solvents, plasticizers, lubricants, humidifiers, softeners, adhesives and brighteners for electroplating industry.
