Description

Application
1 4-Dioxane is primarily used as a solvent and chemical intermediate in laboratories and industrial chemical processes. It is also used in some manufacturing processes involving resins polymers and other chemicals.

Purpose
It serves as a polar water-miscible solvent that can dissolve a variety of organic compounds and is useful as a reaction medium. Its use is now restricted in many applications because of its significant health hazards.

General Description
1 4-Dioxane is a colorless highly flammable liquid with the molecular formula CHO. It is a cyclic ether with a mild ether-like odor and is classified as a carcinogenic hazard requiring careful handling.
