Read： 553 Time：20months ago Source：Transform the World with Simplicity

BDO (1,4-butanediol) is an important organic chemical raw material, which is widely used in many fields, such as plastics, fibers, coatings, pharmaceuticals and pesticides. The properties and uses of BDO and its downstream products are described in detail below.

1. The properties and uses of BDO

BDO is a colorless and transparent liquid with hygroscopic and sweet taste. It has good solubility, low toxicity and low volatility, and is an important solvent and chemical raw material.

BDO is widely used, mainly for the production of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) and polyurethane (PU) and other polymer materials. PBT is a kind of engineering plastic with high strength and high heat resistance, which is widely used in electronics, automobiles, home appliances and other fields. PU is a kind of elastomer material with excellent performance, which is widely used in shoe making, furniture, construction and other fields.

In addition, BDO can also be used to produce tetrahydrofuran (THF), gamma-butyrolactone (GBL) and other downstream products, these products also have a wide range of uses.

2. Properties and Uses of BDO Downstream Products

1. THF

THF is a colorless transparent liquid with an ether odor. It is a polar solvent that can dissolve many organic and inorganic substances, so it is widely used in chemical synthesis and separation processes.

THF can also be used to produce epoxy resin, polyether, polyurethane and other polymer materials. In addition, it can also be used in the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, spices and other fine chemicals.

2. GBL

GBL is a colorless and transparent liquid with a faint sweet and pungent odor. It is an excellent solvent that can dissolve many organic and inorganic substances, so it is widely used in chemical synthesis and separation processes.

GBL can also be used in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes and other fine chemicals. In addition, it can also be used in the production of battery electrolyte, electronic cleaning agent and other special purpose products.

In short, BDO and downstream products have a wide range of uses and development prospects in the field of chemical production raw materials. With the continuous progress and application of science and technology, the application field of BDO and downstream products will continue to expand.
