1,4-Butanediol (BDO) is a versatile liquid diol used to formulate polyurethanes with a balanced set of properties due to its reactive primary hydroxyl functionality and linear structure. Gantrade's BDO is high purity with low moisture content, making it ideal for polyurethane applications. It is widely used in both soft-block and hard-block segments of polyurethanes, offering consistency, durability, and low toxicity. BDO serves as an effective chain extender in polyurethane manufacturing, providing advantages such as high reactivity and good molecular level chain packing.
