1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BD) Production Cost Analysis 2019

1,4-Butanediol (1,4-BD or commonly called BD) is an organic compound derived from butane by attaching alcohol groups at each end of its molecular chain. 1,4-BD, a stable isomer of butanediol, is a colourless, odourless, and viscous liquid, which is used as a solvent. It finds its application in the manufacturing of plastics and pharmaceuticals. 1,4-Butanediol's largest consumer is tetrahydrofuran (THF). Sizable quantities of 1,4-BD are also used to make gamma-butyrolactone (GBL).
