Product Description

1,3-Butanediol CAS#107-88-0

1,3-Butanediol is an organic compound belonging to the class of secondary alcohols. It is primarily used in surfactants, inks, and as a solvent for both natural and synthetic flavoring agents, and it also serves as a co-monomer in the production of certain polyurethane and polyester resins. Additionally, it functions as a humectant in cosmetics, helping to retain moisture, particularly in hair sprays and setting lotions. In the pharmaceutical field, 1,3-butanediol is used in the synthesis of colchicine derivatives as an anticancer agent and in the production of dual peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) gamma and delta agonists, which act as hypoglycaemic agents for diabetes treatment.


Product Usage

1,3-Butanediol is primarily used as an intermediate in the production of polyester plasticizers and other chemical products. It is also utilized as a solvent and humectant, serving as a valuable chemical intermediate. The compound has broad applications in manufacturing structural materials for boats, custom moldings, and construction sheets and boards, providing enhanced weather resistance, flexibility, and impact strength. Additionally, it is used in the production of saturated polyesters for polyurethane coatings, where it improves the flexibility of the polyester molecules. 1,3-Butanediol is also widely incorporated into various personal care products.

FAQ

Q1: Is Huafeng Chemical a manufacturer or a trader?
A: We are a professional service provider specializing in chemical foreign trade. Rather than being limited to the products of a single factory, we leverage the chemical industry cluster in Shandong Province to integrate production resources from multiple high-quality manufacturers. This allows us to offer a wide range of sourcing options—covering various product categories and origins—instead of simply pushing a single product. Furthermore, our core competitiveness lies in our professional foreign trade services (covering documentation, logistics, and regulatory compliance), ensuring a smooth and worry-free procurement process for you.


Q2: How is the security of my transaction guaranteed when working with Huafeng Chemical?
A: We strictly adhere to international trade rules (Incoterms® 2020) and accept various payment methods, such as Letters of Credit (L/C) and Telegraphic Transfers (T/T). For new clients, we support small-batch trial orders and can clearly define arbitration clauses and applicable laws within the contract. Additionally, we maintain a robust risk management system to help you mitigate common trade risks, such as exchange rate fluctuations, shipping delays, and document discrepancies.


Q3: Do you have experience serving clients in Russian-speaking regions?
A: Yes. We place great importance on the Russian-speaking market; our team includes Russian-speaking business professionals who are well-versed in the import regulations of Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU). We understand the importance of EAC certification to clients in these regions and can assist with related compliance inquiries. We have established connections with chemical traders across various CIS countries and have gained valuable experience in specialized packaging and temperature-controlled shipping designed to withstand harsh local winter conditions.


Q4: How do you guarantee product quality?
A: We implement a strict supplier qualification and periodic audit system. A Certificate of Analysis (COA)—issued by the original manufacturer—is provided with every shipment. We also welcome pre-shipment inspections conducted by internationally recognized third-party agencies such as SGS, BV, or ITS. Should the test results fail to meet the standards specified in the contract, you have the right to reject the goods or request a replacement.
