Butadiene
Description
Butadiene is a flammable, colorless gas with a mild aromatic odor. It is highly reactive and readily polymerizes.
Applications
Synthetic rubber (Styrene-Butadiene and Nitrile Butadiene rubbers, to a large extent; CIS-Polybutadiene is also an extender and substitute for rubber; and polymerizations). Butadiene is also used for various polymerizations for plastics manufacturing. Copolymers with high proportions of styrene have found applications such as stiffening resins for rubber, in water-base and other paints, and in high-impact plastic. Butadiene also serves as a starting material for Nylon 66 (adiponitrile) and an ingredient in rocket fuel (Butadiene-Acrylonitrile polymer).
Properties
Butadiene is a clear, colorless gas, free from water and entrained material.
