What is butanediol used for?

OVERVIEW

Other Name(s):

1,4-BD, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-butylene glycol, 1,4-dihydroxybutane, 1,4-tetramethylene glycol, 2(3H)-Furanone di-dihydro, BD, BDO, Butane-1,4-diol, Butanodiol, Butylèneglycol, Butylene Glycol, Butylène Glycol, Glycol Butylique, Tetramethylene Glycol, Tetramethylene-1,4-diol.

Butanediol is a chemical that is used to make floor stripper, paint thinner, and other solvent products. It's illegal to sell butanediol for use as medicine. Nevertheless, butanediol is sometimes used as a substitute for other illegal substances such as gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Unfortunately, butanediol is just as dangerous as GBL and GHB.

Butanediol has been used to stimulate growth hormone production and muscle growth; and for bodybuilding, weight loss, and trouble sleeping (insomnia).

How does it work?

Butanediol is converted to gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in the body. GHB slows down the brain, which can cause loss of consciousness along with dangerous slowing of breathing and other vital functions. It also stimulates growth hormone secretion.

USES & EFFECTIVENESS

  • Stimulating growth hormone production and muscle growth.

  • Bodybuilding.

  • Weight loss.

  • Trouble sleeping (insomnia).

  • Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of butanediol for these uses.

SIDE EFFECTS

Butanediol is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It has caused serious illness and more than 100 deaths.

Some side effects of butanediol are serious breathing problems, coma, amnesia, combativeness, confusion, agitation, vomiting, seizures, and very slow heartbeat. People who use butanediol on a regular basis and then stop may experience withdrawal symptoms such as sleep problems (insomnia), tremor, and anxiety.

What are the properties of cellulose ether?

图片
Cellulose ether is a versatile and widely used polymer derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants. Cellulose ether is modified cellulose, where some of the hydroxyl groups on the cellulose molecule are replaced with ether groups. This modification imparts a range of beneficial properties to cellulose ether, making it valuable in various industrial applications. In this comprehensive discussion, we will explore the properties of cellulose ether, its types, and its diverse applications. cellulose ether Properties of Cellulose Ether: Solubility: One of the most significant properties of cellulose ether is its water-solubility. It dissolves readily in water, forming clear and stable solutions. This property is crucial for many applications where controlled viscosity, binding, or film-forming is required. Viscosity Control: Cellulose ethers exhibit excellent thickening and rheological control properties. They can increase the viscosity of solutions and sus

Benzofurans: Exploring a Fascinating Class of Compounds

图片
Benzofurans   are a captivating group of aromatic compounds that have gained significant attention in the fields of chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and materials science. With their unique molecular structures and versatile properties, benzofurans have become valuable building blocks for the synthesis of various functional molecules. In this article, we will delve into the world of benzofurans, exploring their characteristics, applications, and the role of a reliable Benzofurans manufacturer in their production. Structure and Properties Benzofurans are comprised of a fused benzene ring and furan ring, forming a bicyclic structure. This arrangement imparts distinctive chemical and physical properties to these compounds. The presence of both aromatic and heterocyclic moieties contributes to their aromaticity, making benzofurans stable and highly conjugated. The substitution pattern on the benzene and furan rings further influences their reactivity and biological activities. One of the notabl
