Stable and incompatible with oxidizing agents, oxygen, halogens, reducing agents, and moisture.

Properties Of 1,4-Dioxane

Applications of 1,4 Dioxane

• Solvent: 1,4-Dioxane is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial processes, including paint and varnish production, adhesive formulations, and chemical synthesis. It serves as a versatile solvent due to its high solubility for both polar and non-polar compounds, as well as its low boiling point and inert nature.
• Laboratory Reagent: In laboratory settings, 1,4-dioxane is used as a solvent for organic reactions, extractions, and chromatography. It is particularly useful for dissolving organic compounds that are sparingly soluble in water or other common solvents.
• Stabilizer: 1,4-Dioxane is sometimes added to formulations as a stabilizer to prevent the degradation of certain chemicals, such as peroxides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. It helps maintain the stability and shelf-life of products by inhibiting unwanted reactions.
• Polymer Processing: In the production of certain polymers, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyurethane foam, 1,4-dioxane may be used as a processing aid or reaction solvent. It facilitates polymerization reactions and helps control the molecular weight and properties of the resulting polymers.
• Cosmetics and Personal Care Products: 1,4-Dioxane can be found as a trace contaminant in some cosmetics and personal care products, including shampoos, lotions, and liquid soaps. It may be present as a by-product of manufacturing processes or as a residual solvent in formulations containing ethoxylated surfactants.
