1,4-Butanediol diglycidyl ether is used for preparing amylose, xylan and hydroxyethyl-cellulose, to cross link polyethylenimine which also serves as a hole-blocking layer in organic solar cells, to cross link hyaluronic acid into hydrogels and for the activation of soluble dextran polymers. It is the most commonly used homobifunctional epoxide compound

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
