description Product Description
Widely used as a solvent in various industrial and laboratory processes due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. It is particularly effective in polymer chemistry, where it serves as a solvent for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and in the production of polytetramethylene ether glycol (PTMEG), a key ingredient in spandex fibers. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, where it acts as a reaction medium for Grignard reactions and other organic transformations. Its low boiling point and high volatility make it suitable for use in coatings, adhesives, and inks. In the electronics industry, it is utilized as a solvent for resins and in the manufacturing of magnetic tapes.
