Description
γ-Butyrolactone (GBL) is a hygroscopic colorless liquid with a weak characteristic odor. Soluble in water, GBL is a common solvent and reagent in chemistry as well as being used as a flavouring, as a cleaning solvent, as a superglue remover, and as a solvent in some wet aluminium electrolytic do contact us for more details, regards.
Usage
1,4-butyrolactone is widely used as a perfume and a pharmaceutical intermediate. It can be used in pyrrolidone, butyric acid, succinic acid, paint-removing syrup, etc. It is widely used in the synthesis of fine chemicals such as medicines and spices. It is also often used as a solvent for resins and is a highly safe/low toxicity environmentally friendly solvent.
GBL has widespread industrial uses . One significant use of GBL is as an intermediate in the manufacture of pyrrolidones, which are widely used industrial chemicals. A second significant use of GBL, because of its strong solvency properties, is in cleaning products such as circuit board cleaners in electronics, in paint strippers and as a component of nail polish removers. It is used as a solvent for polyacrylonitrile, cellulose acetate, methylacrylate polymers, and polystyrene. Other applications include the production of herbicides and pharmaceuticals, and is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of DL-methionine, piperidine, phenylbutyric acid and thiobutyric acid.

Application
(1). GBL can be used to produce a-pyrrolidone, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidinone , polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and α-Acetyl-γ-butyrolactone, etc.
(2). GBL can be used as anaesthetic and tranquilizer, used to produce ciprofloxacin and interferon, as the intermediate of vitamin and rolicyprine;
(3). GBL is the intermediate of plant growth stimulator and insecticide.
(4). GBL is a good antioxidant, plasticizer, extractant, adsorbent, dispersant, fixative and curing agent; Moreover, it can also be used in battery, capacitor and development of color film.
GBL for Bodybuilding
GBL is converted to GHB shortly after entering the body. Both produce a feeling of euphoria and can reduce inhibitions and cause sleepiness. Gamma butyrolactone is a chemical. People use it as medicine. Be careful not to confuse gamma butyrolactone (GBL) with gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB). Gamma-Butyrolactone + NaOH => Sodium Gamma-Hydroxy Butyrate (Na-GHB).
GHB has many potential therapeutic uses and is considered to have a very low toxicity profile. In some European countries, it's used as a general anesthetic, for sleep disorders, an aid to childbirth and a treatment for alcoholism. It also is reported to be a great aphrodisiac.
Bodybuilders and other athletes have used GHB because of its ability to stimulate the pituitary to release growth hormone (GH).GHB should lower the secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, especially at night. This is perceived as a major benefit because cortisol release keeps increasing as the night goes on. t certainly makes sense that a relaxing agent should depress cortisol you are in a state of acidosis because of your diet, this particular action of GHB will spare some of your muscle mass while permitting fat loss. The extra GH release due to GHB will also help you to get rid of the extra acid and therefore spare your muscle mass and glutamine. If you are not in a state of acidosis, this anti-catabolic action of GHB will not appear.
Relaxation, calming, increased mental clarity, fat loss, use as a body or muscle “builder,” recreational drug use, releasing growth hormone, improving athletic performance, trouble sleeping (insomnia), relieving depression and stress, prolonging life, improving sexual performance and pleasure, and other conditions.
