What is butanediol used for?

OVERVIEW

Other Name(s):

1,4-BD, 1,4-butanediol, 1,4-butylene glycol, 1,4-dihydroxybutane, 1,4-tetramethylene glycol, 2(3H)-Furanone di-dihydro, BD, BDO, Butane-1,4-diol, Butanodiol, Butylèneglycol, Butylene Glycol, Butylène Glycol, Glycol Butylique, Tetramethylene Glycol, Tetramethylene-1,4-diol.

Butanediol is a chemical that is used to make floor stripper, paint thinner, and other solvent products. It's illegal to sell butanediol for use as medicine. Nevertheless, butanediol is sometimes used as a substitute for other illegal substances such as gamma butyrolactone (GBL) and gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Unfortunately, butanediol is just as dangerous as GBL and GHB.

Butanediol has been used to stimulate growth hormone production and muscle growth; and for bodybuilding, weight loss, and trouble sleeping (insomnia).

How does it work?

Butanediol is converted to gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB) in the body. GHB slows down the brain, which can cause loss of consciousness along with dangerous slowing of breathing and other vital functions. It also stimulates growth hormone secretion.

USES & EFFECTIVENESS

  • Stimulating growth hormone production and muscle growth.

  • Bodybuilding.

  • Weight loss.

  • Trouble sleeping (insomnia).

  • Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate the effectiveness of butanediol for these uses.

SIDE EFFECTS

Butanediol is UNSAFE when taken by mouth. It has caused serious illness and more than 100 deaths.

Some side effects of butanediol are serious breathing problems, coma, amnesia, combativeness, confusion, agitation, vomiting, seizures, and very slow heartbeat. People who use butanediol on a regular basis and then stop may experience withdrawal symptoms such as sleep problems (insomnia), tremor, and anxiety.

How to Remove the Protective Film from Stainless Steel?

图片
  The term "stainless steel" refers to a group of metal alloys, each containing at least 10.5% chromium. Stainless steel is easy to clean and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for appliances, plumbing, cookware, and tools. Stainless steel appliances usually come from shops and are covered with a  protective plastic film  that is held in place by static electricity. Removing this protective film is the first thing you should do once you have brought your stainless steel items home. Step 1 Look for the edge of the protective film. This edge is usually aligned with the edge on the front of the appliance. The edge may also have a tab designed to make removal easier.   Step 2 Insert the tip of a plastic spatula or credit card between the edge of the protective film and the stainless steel. Do not scrape the stainless steel, simply use the plastic to wedge the protective film away from the stainless steel surface.   Step 3 Grasp the part of the  protective ...

Understanding Isobutyltrimethoxysilane: A Comprehensive Overview

图片
  Isobutyltrimethoxysilane is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of organosilicon compounds, playing a crucial role in various industrial applications. This article delves into the properties, applications, and significance of isobutyltrimethoxysilane, shedding light on its versatile nature. Chemical Composition and Structure Isobutyltrimethoxysilane, with the chemical formula (CH3)3SiOC4H9, is a type of silane coupling agent. Silane coupling agents are compounds that contain silicon, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, with a specific arrangement that imparts unique properties. The isobutyltrimethoxysilane molecule consists of three methoxy (–OCH3) groups attached to a silicon atom, which is further linked to an isobutyl group (–C4H9). Properties of Isobutyltrimethoxysilane Isobutyltrimethoxysilane is known for its exceptional properties, making it a valuable component in various industrial processes. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic odor, and its chemica...

Why do plano-convex lenses reduce spherical aberration

图片
Spherical Aberration in a Lens If a point object is placed on the axis of the large lens, images Ip and Im will be formed by the paraxial and marginal rays respectively. The paraxial rays of light from the image are at a longer distance from the lens than the marginal rays. The image is not sharp at any point on the axis. If the screen is placed perpendicular to the axis at AB, the image appears to be a circular patch of diameter AB. The patch of diameter AB is called the circle of least confusion and corresponds to the position of the best image. The distance Imap measures the longitudinal spherical aberration and the radius of the circle of least confusion measures the lateral spherical aberration. When the aperture of the lens is relatively large compared to the focal length of the lens, the cones of the rays of light refracted through different zones of the lens surface are not brought to focus at the same point on the axis. The marginal rays come to focus at a nearer...
