Products Description
1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound classified as a secondary alcohol. It is primarily used in the production of surfactants, printing inks, and solvents for natural and synthetic flavoring substances. It also functions as a co-monomer in the manufacture of selected polyurethane and polyester resins, contributing to their stability and performance. In the cosmetics industry, 1,3-butanediol acts as a humectant, helping retain moisture in personal care products such as hair sprays and setting lotions. Additionally, it has pharmaceutical applications in the synthesis of colchicine derivatives with anticancer potential and dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma and delta agonists, which exhibit hypoglycemic activity and may be useful in diabetes treatment.

Product Applications
1,3-Butanediol is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in the production of polyester plasticizers and various other chemical products. It is also utilized as a solvent and humectant in a range of applications. In the construction and marine industries, it is widely employed in the manufacture of structural materials for boats, custom-molded products, and construction sheets and boards. Its incorporation into these materials enhances weather resistance, flexibility, and impact strength. Furthermore, 1,3-butanediol is used in the production of saturated polyesters for polyurethane coatings, where it improves the flexibility of the polyester structure. In addition, it is an ingredient in a variety of personal care products.
