1,4-Butanediol is often used in the solvent and adhesive industry. It is used as a solvent in the manufacturing of all kinds of plastics, elastic fibers, and polyurethanes. Additionally, it can be used as a special additive chemical in paint thinners, floor strippers, and many other commercial solvent products, as well as in the same everyday commonly used household products like printer inks, cleaning products, and plasticizers.

Hazard Statements:
H302: Harmful if swallowed
H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness
Precautionary Statements:
P260: Do not breathe dust/fume/gas/mist/vapours/spray
P280: Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/face protection
P301+312: IF SWALLOWED: Call a POISON CENTER or doctor/physician if you feel unwell
P304+341: IF INHALED: If breathing is difficult, remove the victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing
To UNFREEZE: Place the bottle in warm water until the 1,4 Butanediol melts. This can be repeated as many times as necessary to liquidfy the 1,4 Butanediol, as long as the bottle is sealed and no moisture is added, it will not change the properties of the product.
Most of the 1,4-butanediol produced is dehydrated using phosphoric acid and extremely high temperatures. The resulting compound, known as tetrahydrofuran (THF), is an excellent tool for creating synthetic fibers, for example, spandex. So THF production is the primary use of 1,4-BDO worldwide.

1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BDO) versatile chemical intermediate because of its terminal, primary hydroxyl groups, and its hydrophobic and chemical-resistant nature. Polymers produced upon reaction with diacids or diisocyanates are the basis for many commercial polyurethane and polyester applications. 1,4-BDO is used to manufacture polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), thermoplastic copolyester elastomers, as a component of polyesters, or as a chain extender in polyurethanes.
In comparison to other diols, 1,4-BDO combines the best attributes of hydroxyl reactivity, linearity, and overall system compatibility to build the proper crystallinity required in the polyurethane hard segment. Also, the 1,4-BDO/MDI systems provide a lower exposure hazard than MOCA/TDI systems.
In thermoplastic urethane elastomers, 1,4-BDO yields crystalline urethane domains which readily melt and flow at elevated temperatures but phase separately at ambient temperatures in order to yield tough elastomeric networks.
Cast urethane elastomers continue to be a major end-use of 1,4-BDO because of overall consistency and reliability. Urethane RIM elastomers using 1,4-BDO allow design freedom and parts consolidation with large, complex shapes.
Copolyester Hot Melt and Solvent Borne Adhesives. 1,4-BDO is a key component of copolyesters of isophthalic acid and terephthalic acid used in hot melt adhesive applications. 1,4-BDO yields polyesters with excellent adhesive and cohesive strength.
