1,3-Butylene Glycol, also known as 1,3-dihydroxybutane or 1,3-butanediol, it is an organic compound. It is soluble in water, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, ethanol, dibutyl phthalate, and castor oil, while remaining nearly insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons, benzene, toluene, carbon tetrachloride, ethanolamines, mineral oil, and linseed oil. When heated, it can dissolve nylon and partially dissolve shellac and rosin. Due to its relatively high boiling point, it is prone to air oxidation during atmospheric distillation; therefore, distillation under reduced pressure is recommended. The product is odorless with a slightly bitter-sweet taste, and it exhibits strong hygroscopicity.

 

 

Our 1,3-Butylene Glycol is produced from bio-based acetaldehyde, following a green and natural route. The manufacturing process utilizes internationally leading fixed-bed condensation and hydrogenation technologies, enabling continuous production that ensures consistent quality, operational safety, and environmental friendliness with no scale-up effect. This process fills a technological gap in the domestic market. Through proprietary refining technology, the finished product is completely free of any unpleasant odor, and its olfactory profile and high-temperature stability outperform comparable products from international suppliers.

 

The 1,3-Butylene Glycol we export reaches a purity of 99.5% or higher, meeting the Japanese cosmetic grade standards as well as the U.S. FDA food-grade requirements. In cosmetic formulations, it delivers superior moisturizing and skin-conditioning performance. We utilize advanced analytical instruments including GC and GC-MS for rigorous sample testing, fully complying with cosmetic industry standards.

 

 

This product is widely used as a humectant and moisturizer in cosmetic formulations including toners, creams, lotions, gels, and toothpastes. It also serves as a softening and moisture-retaining agent for textiles, tobacco, and paper. In food-related applications, it functions as an antimicrobial agent for cheese and meat products. Furthermore, it is utilized in the production of plasticizers and unsaturated polyester resins, as well as an industrial dehydrating agent, demonstrating strong cross-industry versatility.
