1,4-Butanediol (BDO) – Industrial Grade High Purity Chemical Supplier
1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is a high-performance industrial diol widely used as a key intermediate in polyurethanes, PBT plastics, γ‑butyrolactone (GBL) production, elastic fibers, coatings, adhesives, and fine chemical synthesis.. As a reliable BDO supplier, we provide high purity 1,4-butanediol (≥99.9%) for global industries including the USA, Canada, Europe, Germany, France, Japan, Korea, and Southeast Asia.
1,4-Butanediol (CAS 110-63-4) is a colorless, high-boiling liquid with low toxicity, widely used in chemical synthesis and polymer production.
It acts as a chain extender and intermediate in multiple industrial processes due to its dual hydroxyl functional groups.
Primary Uses:
-
Intermediate for polyurethanes and elastomers
-
Precursor for tetrahydrofuran (THF) and γ‑butyrolactone (GBL)
-
Engineering plastics (PBT, polyester polyols)
-
Solvents in coatings, inks, adhesives
-
Chemical synthesis and fine chemicals

Applicatioin:
1. Polyurethane Industry
BDO is widely used as a chain extender in polyurethane elastomers and coatings, improving flexibility and durability.
2. THF (Tetrahydrofuran) Production
A major portion of global BDO is converted into THF, which is used to produce spandex fibers and solvents.
3. Engineering Plastics (PBT)
BDO is a key raw material for polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), widely used in automotive and electronics industries.
4. Solvents & Fine Chemicals
Used in the production of:
- γ-Butyrolactone (GBL)
- NMP solvents
- Adhesives and coatings
