1,2-Butylene Oxide (BO) - Global Industry Market Analysis Report 2020-2031

1,2-Butylene Oxide (BO) is a colorless liquid organic compound with the chemical formula C4H8O. It belongs to the category of epoxy compounds with a low boiling point (about 63°C) and a pungent odor. It is prepared by oxidation of butene and is an important chemical intermediate widely used in the production of polyether polyols, surfactants and pharmaceutical raw materials. It has high reactivity, but strict requirements on storage conditions (such as low temperature and ventilation) are required, and it needs to be handled with caution due to its volatility and potential toxicity.

There is some controversy about the application of 1,2-butylene oxide. Supporters believe that its use in polyurethane foams and coatings has promoted industrial development, and its chemical properties make it uniquely valuable in fine chemicals. However, critics point out that its volatility and toxicity may pose risks to worker health and the environment, and improper waste gas treatment during the production process may aggravate pollution. In addition, competition from alternatives (such as propylene oxide) may also affect its market position.

In terms of the market, the demand for 1,2-butylene oxide is related to the chemical and construction industries. In March 2025, Asia, especially China, will become the main production base due to its developed chemical industry, while North America and Europe will continue to grow due to high-end application demand.

In the future, the prospects of 1,2-butylene oxide depend on the development of green technology. Improving production processes to reduce emissions and developing bio-based alternatives may expand its application. However, strict chemical management regulations and market competition may limit growth, and the industry needs to maintain competitiveness through innovation and compliance improvement.
