1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether Usage And Synthesis

Description

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether is a reactive diluent in epoxy resins.

Chemical Properties

Clear yellow liquid

Uses

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether is used for preparing amylose, xylan and hydroxyethyl-cellulose, to cross link polyethylenimine which also serves as a hole-blocking layer in organic solar cells, to cross link hyaluronic acid into hydrogels and for the activation of soluble dextran polymers. It is the most commonly used homobifunctional epoxide compound

Uses

Production Methods

The compound results from condensation of butanediol with epichlorohydrin followed by dehydrochlorination with caustic.

General Description

Clear pale yellow liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Hygroscopic. Water soluble

Reactivity Profile

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether reacts with acids.

Fire Hazard

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether is combustible.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Contact allergens

This substance is a reactive diluent in epoxy resins

Carcinogenicity

A2 year dermal cancer bioassay was conducted in CF1 mice at doses of 0%, 0.05%, and 0.2% in acetone . Treatment did not adversely affect survival, did not increase the incidence of skin tumors, and did not result in significant skin irritation. There were no statistically significant increases in incidence of any systemic tumors, except for lymphatic tumors in females. Because there was a high background incidence of this tumor type in CF1 mice used in the testing laboratory , there was no clear evidence of 1,4-BDDGE-induced carcinogenicity.
