General description

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether(BDDE) is a homobifunctional monomer with two epoxide groups, widely used to modify the viscosity of epoxy resins. It is also used as a cross-linking agent to synthesize polymer networks.

Application

1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether can be used:
  • As a cross-linking agent to prepare hyaluronic acid dermal fillers This crosslinking process enhances the gel-like consistency of the filler, making it more durable and longer-lasting.[1]
  • As a monomer to prepare epoxy-based graphene nanocomposites that have potential applications in the field of flexible electronics, corrosion resistance coatings, and conductive adhesives. BDDE is chosen for its desirable properties such as low viscosity, good reactivity, and compatibility with graphene.

Crosslinking of dermal sheep collagen (DSC) was accomplished using 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDGE). At pH values > 8.0, epoxide groups of BDDGE will react with amine groups of collagen. The effects of BDDGE concentration, pH, time, and temperature were

Questions

  1. Product listed as 60%, but what is the make up of the remaining 40%? Is it dissolved in something?

    1 answer
    1. The identity of the other 40% of the material is not determined. Typically, these impurities are other diepoxide isomers, but they may not be the only impurities. For a higher purity 1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether, the material listed under product number 220892 is recommended, which has a purity of ≥ 95.0%.
