GBL is used industrially as a solvent and chemical intermediate, including applications involving polymers, inks, coatings, paint removers, textiles and certain chemical synthesis processes.
Important industrial characteristics
High solvency: dissolves or assists processing of various organic materials and polymers.
Water miscible: mixes readily with water and many common organic solvents.
Hygroscopic: absorbs moisture from the atmosphere, so moisture control is important for high-purity material.
Storage: compatible industrial containers should be selected according to the supplier's SDS; avoid incompatible materials/chemicals.
Combustible: it should be kept away from ignition sources and incompatible oxidizing materials.
Safety / classification
Current ECHA information identifies a proposed harmonised classification of Acute Toxicity 4 (H302), Eye Damage 1 (H318), and STOT SE 3 (H336).
That means industrial handling should include appropriate gloves, eye/face protection, ventilation, spill controls, and an SDS-based storage/transport procedure.
