Commercial Information
Storage & Shipping
Storage Conditions
Keep tightly sealed, dry and ventilated, protected from moisture and heat. Separate from acids, bases, oxidizers and curing agents; the selected technical reference recommends refrigerated, inert storage for quality retention.
Packaging Integrity
Inspect drums, closures, IBC valves and seals before unloading. Keep packages labelled and upright, protect from impact and leakage, use clean compatible equipment and reseal promptly.
Packaging
20 kg / 200 kg drums / 1,000 kg IBC
Handling & Protection
Use controlled transfer and ventilation where mist can form. Wear compatible chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles and protective clothing; prevent skin contact, splashes and aerosol exposure.
What Is 1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE)?
1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether, abbreviated BDDE, is a difunctional aliphatic epoxy reactive diluent identified by CAS 2425-79-8. Its glycidyl groups take part in the cured resin network. It differs from butanediol itself and from longer-chain glycol diglycidyl ethers.
The grade specifies EEW 120–135 g/eq, epoxy value 0.74–0.83 eq/100 g and viscosity 10–25 mPa·s at 25°C. Colour, moisture and chlorine limits support incoming inspection. These values describe commercial reactive-diluent performance and should not be replaced by a pure-component theoretical epoxy equivalent.
For casting, coatings, flooring and adhesive development, evaluate the diluent by mixing viscosity, flow, pot life, exotherm and cured properties. Calculate the curing-agent requirement from the actual EEW of the complete resin blend. Determine addition level through formulation trials rather than applying a universal dosage.
Selected composite and impregnation systems require evaluation of wetting, conversion, mechanical properties and service ageing. This listing concerns industrial formulation use. Prevent exposure to uncured epoxy liquid; the matched technical reference is non-dangerous goods for transport but carries acute toxicity, eye injury and sensitization hazards.

1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE) FAQ
Which 1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE) grade should I choose?
Compare EEW 120–135 g/eq and the complete specification with your process. Test compatibility, performance and incoming quality in the intended application; do not substitute the nominal molecular formula for a commercial-grade assay.
Can I request a 1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE) sample for testing?
Yes. We can provide free samples for testing. Tell us the application, the grade you need and the tests you plan to run.
How is 1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE) packed and shipped?
Standard packing is 20 kg / 200 kg drums / 1,000 kg IBC. The usual MOQ is 1,000 kg, with a lead time of approximately 14 days from order confirmation. It ships as non-dangerous goods.
Which documents are available for 1,4-Butanediol Diglycidyl Ether (BDDE)?
The TDS lists the supply specification and the SDS covers safety and transport; both can be downloaded on this page. Each shipment comes with a batch COA.
