product description

1,3-Butanediol CAS#107-88-0

1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound belonging to the class of secondary alcohols. It is primarily used in surfactants, inks, and as a solvent for both natural and synthetic flavoring agents, and it also serves as a co-monomer in the production of certain polyurethane and polyester resins. Additionally, it functions as a humectant in cosmetics, helping to retain moisture, particularly in hair sprays and setting lotions. In the pharmaceutical field, 1,3-butanediol is used in the synthesis of colchicine derivatives as an anticancer agent and in the production of dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma and delta agonists, which act as hypoglycaemic agents for diabetes treatment.


Product Usage

1,3-Butanediol is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of polyester plasticizers and other chemical products. It is also utilized as a solvent and humectant, serving as a valuable chemical intermediate. The compound has broad applications in manufacturing structural materials for boats, custom moldings, and construction sheets and boards, providing enhanced weather resistance, flexibility, and impact strength. Additionally, it is used in the production of saturated polyesters for polyurethane coatings, where it improves the flexibility of the polyester molecules. 1,3-Butanediol is also widely incorporated into various personal care products.
