Poly(1,2-epoxybutane)

polymer

Poly(1,2-epoxybutane) is a synthetic elastomer derived from the ring-opening polymerization of 1,2-epoxybutane, belonging to the class of polyether elastomers. This material exhibits low-temperature flexibility and elastomeric properties, making it relevant for applications requiring resilience at reduced temperatures. While primarily a research and specialty polymer rather than a mainstream commercial material, it represents the broader family of epoxide-based elastomers that are investigated for applications where conventional elastomers become brittle or lose performance.

Safety & Biocompatibility

RoHS, REACH, and Prop 65 statuses are validated against official substance lists (ECHA SVHC Candidate List, OEHHA Prop 65, RoHS Annex II). Other regulations are estimated from composition and material classification. All screening is a starting point for due diligence — always verify with your supplier before making compliance decisions.
