1,3-Butadiene 99.6% CAS NO. 106-99-0 High Purity Monomer
This high-purity 1,3-Butadiene, with a purity exceeding 99.6%, is a simple conjugated diene and a colorless, liquefied gas with a mild aromatic or gasoline-like odor . It is a fundamental building block in the petrochemical industry, produced as a by-product of ethylene steam cracking and purified via extractive distillation . Its unique conjugated structure makes it an essential monomer for producing a vast range of polymers. The product is supplied with an inhibitor to prevent dangerous polymerization and is verified by gas chromatography (GC) analysis to meet the highest industrial standards .
Scope of Application
· This product is primarily used as the key monomer in the production of synthetic rubbers, including Styrene-Butadiene Rubber (SBR) for automobile tires, polybutadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber .
· It is also a crucial component in the manufacture of engineering plastics and resins, such as Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) and Styrene-Butadiene (SB) latex for coatings and adhesives .
· It can be used as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other industrial chemicals, including adiponitrile for nylon production and the solvent sulfolane .
· It serves as a starting material in organic synthesis for producing cyclododecatriene via trimerization and other specialty chemicals .
Product Features
1,3-Butadiene offers exceptional purity of over 99.6%, ensuring consistent and reliable performance in critical polymerization processes . Its conjugated diene structure provides high and selective reactivity for copolymerization with styrene, acrylonitrile, and other monomers. The product is a gas at ambient temperature but is shipped as a liquefied gas under pressure . It has a low boiling point of -4.5°C and is highly volatile . To ensure safety during storage and transport, the product is stabilized with an inhibitor (e.g., t-butylcatechol) to prevent uncontrolled exothermic polymerization . The Company employs advanced analytical instruments such as GC to test the product, ensuring it meets rigorous industrial standards for polymer production.
Packaging and Transportation
· The products are packaged under inert atmosphere in high-pressure cylinders, such as aluminum cylinders equipped with brass valves, and in ISO tankers designed for liquefied gases .
· Customized packaging sizes, from small laboratory cylinders to bulk vessels, are available according to customer requirements.
Safety and Storage
· The product is an EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE liquefied gas (GHS signal word: Danger, H220) . Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, sparks, and open flame.
· Keep container tightly closed and stored upright in a secured area. Store separately from strong oxidizing agents, copper, and copper alloys .
· 1,3-Butadiene is a confirmed human carcinogen (IARC Group 1) and may cause genetic defects (H340) . Handle only with extreme caution and appropriate engineering controls.
