1,4-Dioxane CAS 123-91-1 Purity >99.5% (GC) Factory High Quality

1,4-Dioxane (stabilized with BHT) (CAS: 123-91-1) is a hexahydroxy heterocyclic compound containing two oxygen heteroatoms. 1,4-Dioxane is highly flammable and forms explosive peroxides in storage (rate of formation increased by heating, evaporation, or exposure to light). 1,4-Dioxane is incompatible with oxidising agents, oxygen, halogens, reducing agents, and moisture. Industrial applications of 1,4-dioxane are extensive, for instance, as solvent for cellulose acetate, ethyl cellulose, benzyl cellulose, resins, oils, waxes, and some dyes; as a solvent for paper, cotton, and textile processing; and for various organic and inorganic compounds and products. It is also used in automotive coolant liquid and in shampoos and other cosmetics as a degreasing agent and as a component of paint and varnish. Human exposures to 1,4-dioxane have been traced to multiple occupations and breathing of contaminated workplace air and drinking polluted water. Industrial uses of 1,4-dioxane are very many. For instance, it is used as solvent for celluloses, resins, lacquers, synthetic rubbers, adhesives, sealants, fats, oils, dyes, and protective coatings; as a stabiliser for chlorinated solvents and printing inks; and as a wetting and dispersing agent in textile processing agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals, in different processing of solvent-extraction processes, and in the preparation and manufacture of detergents. Application of 1,4-Dioxane 1) It's a kind of solvent of synthetic leather of polyurethane and amino acid, resin-vegetable oil, mineral oil,pharmaceuticals, paint and dye, and a stabilizer of 1,1,1-trichloroethane. 2) It's also used for plasticizer and antioxidant. 3)It is mainly used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, spice, special fine chemicals and other industries. 4)It can also be used as soluvent, reaction medium and extracting agent in scientific studies.
