Butadiene Market Overview

Butadiene, obtained from petroleum, refers to the colorless and highly flammable gaseous open-chain hydrocarbon C4H6 that is used in making synthetic rubbers. It belongs to a class of organic compounds called dienes, which are hydrocarbons that contain two carbon-carbon double bonds. Butadiene is a highly reactive and versatile compound used primarily as a monomer, a molecule that can join together to form a polymer to produce synthetic rubbers.
