- 1,4-Butanediol
colorless viscous liquid is derived from butane by placement of
alcohol groups at each end of the chain. It is one of four stable
isomers of butanediol.
- 1,4-Butanediol is used
industrially as a solvent and in the manufacture of some types of
plastics, elastic fibers and polyurethanes.
- 1,4-butanediol is used
for the synthesis of γ-butyrolactone (GBL).
- At about 200 °C in the
presence of soluble rutheniumcatalysts, the diol undergoes
dehydrogenation to form butyrolactone.
- World production of
1,4-butanediol is about one million metric tons per year and market
price is about 2,000 USD (1,600 EUR) per ton (2005). Almost half of
it is dehydrated to tetrahydrofuranto make fibers such as
Spandex.The largest producer is BASF.
- It is also used as a
recreational drug known by some users as "One Comma Four", "One Four
Bee" or "One Four B-D-O". It exerts effects similar to γ-hydroxybutyrate
(GHB), which is a metabolic product of 1,4-butanediol.
- They Are Used In The
Application Of Adhesives
Agricultural, Coatings, Pharmaceuticals, Plasticizers
Polyurethanes
- They Are Used In The
Manufacture Of Polyurethanes,
Polybutyleneterephthalate
- The main applications
for butanediol are the production of cellular plastics,
thermoplastic polyesters And hot-melt adhesives.
- In the textile
industry, 1,4-butanediol is an additive in sizes and finishing
baths. Similar to glycerol, it acts as a plasticizer for
water-soluble binders. Plasticized products are less tacky in a
humid atmosphere than those treated with glycerol because
1,4-butanediol is not as hygroscopic.
- 1,4-Butanediol is a
colorless and almost odorless liquid. This hygroscopic diol is
soluble in water, alcohols, esters, ketones, glycol ethers and
glycol ether acetates; immiscible in aliphatic and aromatic
hydrocarbons and diethylether.
- 1,4-Butanediol is not
a skin irritant, but may be irritating to mucous membranes or the
respiratory tract.
- Vapors may irritate
the eyes. If severe, iritis, conjunctivitis or diffuse corneal
opacity may result. Proper respiratory
and protective eyewear are recommended
- Butanediol is the
ethynylation product of acetylene and formaldehyde; a bifunctional,
primary alcohol.
