CAS 110-63-4 BDO 1,4-Butanediol Fast Shipping

Usage

1. Production of polybutylene terephthalate, a thermoplastic polyester; and manufacture of tetrahydrofuran, butyrolactone, and polymer plasticizers;

2. Is a solvent with good antimicrobial action. It enhances the preservative activity of parabens. Butylene glycol also serves as a humectant and viscosity controller, and to mask odor;

3. Is used in the synthesis of epothilones, a new class of cancer drugs. Also used in the stereoselective synthesis of (-)-Brevisamide;

4. Is within tetrahydrofuran (THF) production;

5. It is commonly used as a solvent in the chemical industry to manufacture gamma-butyrolactone and elastic fibers like spandex;

6. It is used as a cross-linking agent for thermoplastic urethanes, polyester plasticizers, paints and coatings;

7. It acts an intermediate and is used to manufacture polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyurethane (PU);

8. It finds application as an industrial cleaner and a glue remover;

9. 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).
