What is 1,3-butadiene?

1,3-butadiene is a “building block” chemical used to make synthetic rubber. It is a colorless gas and has a mild gasoline odor.

What products are created from 1,3-butadiene?

The synthetic rubber created by 1,3-butadiene is used to make many consumer products such as rubber gloves that are used for protection from chemicals when using cleaning products or working with oils and solvents . In an industrial setting, workers often use neoprene gloves to protect against exposure to gasoline, hydraulic fluids, alcohols, and organic acids. Rubber is resistant to water and weak acids, and has elasticity and impermeability. These qualities make it useful as an electrical insulator, an adhesive and for coatings. Because rubber traps air it can float. This makes it beneficial for products used on or under water such as inner tubes and rafts. 1,3-Butadiene is also used to create the rubber used to make elevator belts, hoses and tubes. Tires, footwear and sports goods also use synthetic rubber.
