1,3 Butylene Glycol Used in Polymer Materials
1,3 Butylene glycol acts as a plasticiser in plastics, rubber, and resins. It lowers intermolecular forces, improving flexibility, processability, and durability of finished products.


1,3-Dihydroxybutane Used in Automotive Industry
● Cooling systems: Added to antifreeze for its low freezing point, preventing coolant from freezing.
● Paints & coatings: Enhances flexibility and processing.
● Seating: In polyurethane synthesis, reacts with isocyanates to produce polymers with excellent wear resistance, elasticity, and mechanical strength for foams, adhesives, and coatings.
1,3-Butanediol Used in Pharmaceuticals Industry
Key intermediate for synthesising 1,3-dichloropropane, 1,3-butanediamine, 1,3-butadial, etc., which can be used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrances. Also serves as a low-toxicity, stable solvent in ointments and injections.


1,3 Butylene Glycol Used in Animal Feed Industry
1,3 Butylene Glycol is added as a flavouring agent to stimulate appetite. 1,3 Butylene Glycol can be used in poultry and swine feed as performance enhancer to promote animal growth and weight gain. This alcohol can also be used as energy source for dairy cows and finishing pigs.
