1,4-Butanediol
1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is a high-quality intermediate. BDO and its derivatives are widely used for producing plastics, solvents, electronic chemicals and elastic fibers.
BDO is now mainly used to produce tetrahydrofuran (THF), polytetrahydrofuran (PTMEG), γ-butyrolactone (GBL), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), biodegradable resin (PBS), polyurethane (PU), N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), etc.
