Usage

Description

BIS(2-N-BUTOXYETHYL)PHTHALATE, also known as dibutoxyethyl phthalate (DBEP), is a phthalate ester derived from the formal condensation of both carboxy groups of phthalic acid with two molecules of 2-butoxyethanol. It is a colorless liquid with a density of 1.063 and is soluble in organic solvents while being fairly insoluble in water.

Uses

Used in Plastic Industry:
BIS(2-N-BUTOXYETHYL)PHTHALATE is used as a plasticizer for various applications, including the enhancement of flexibility, workability, and durability of materials.
BIS(2-N-BUTOXYETHYL)PHTHALATE is used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) to improve its flexibility, workability, and durability. The addition of this plasticizer allows PVC to be more easily processed and molded into various shapes and forms.
BIS(2-N-BUTOXYETHYL)PHTHALATE is also used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) to enhance its properties, making it more suitable for a wide range of applications, such as adhesives, coatings, and films.

Production Methods

DBEP is formed by the esterification of glycol monobutyl ether with phthalic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst (sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid) or noncatalytically at high temperature.

Safety Profile

Mildly toxic by ingestion. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating fumes.
