1,4-Butanediol (BDO)

1,4‑Butanediol (BDO) is a versatile chemical intermediate widely used in the production of polymers, engineering plastics, solvents, and specialty chemicals. As a clear, colorless liquid with high purity, our BDO meets strict industrial standards and is suitable for use in polyurethanes, PBT plastics, γ‑butyrolactone (GBL) production, elastic fibers, coatings, adhesives, and fine chemical synthesis.

Our BDO is manufactured under rigorous quality control, ensuring consistent purity and minimal moisture content, making it ideal for demanding industrial applications where reliability and performance are critical.

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
