Dibutyl phthalate
DBP is an important plasticizer that enhances the utility of some major engineering plastics, such as PVC. Such modified PVC is widely used in plumbing for carrying sewerage and other corrosive materials. [3] Degradation [ edit] Hydrolysis of DBP leads to phthalic acid and 1-butanol. [4] Monobutyl phthalate (MBP) is its major metabolite. [5]
Natural-based plasticizers and biopolymer films: A review
Biodegradable plasticizers such as soybean oil (SO), epoxidized soybean oil (ESO), dibutyl phthalate (DBP) and triethyl citrate (TEC) were added to poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) films, enhancing their thermal and mechanical properties. TEC or DBP presented better plasticizing effects than SO and ESO for PHBV [11].

- What is DBP & phthalic anhydride?
- DBP is produced by esterifying Butanol and Phthalic Anhydride. excellent compatibility with PVC and has high plasticizing efficiency. a considerable low dosage is enough to reach satisfactory flexibility. a primary plasticizer for general purpose and often used as gelation agent.
- What is the best plasticizer for PVC?
- Dibutyl phthalate is the most commonly used plasticizer for PVC, which can make the products have good softness. Dibutyl phthalate is an excellent plasticizer for nitrocellulose with strong gelation ability. It is used in nitrocellulose coatings and has a good softening effect.
- Is dibutyl phthalate a good plasticizer for nitrocellulose?
- Dibutyl phthalate is an excellent plasticizer for nitrocellulose with strong gelation ability. It is used in nitrocellulose coatings and has a good softening effect. Stability, flexure resistance, adhesion and water resistance are better than other plasticizers.
- What are the advantages of PVC plasticizer?
- excellent compatibility with PVC and has high plasticizing efficiency. a considerable low dosage is enough to reach satisfactory flexibility. a primary plasticizer for general purpose and often used as gelation agent. it is easy to migration and embrittle in low temperature and its solvent extractability is high.
