Benzyl butyl phthalate
Benzyl butyl phthalate ( BBP) is an organic compound historically used a plasticizer, but which has now been largely phased out due to health concerns. It is a phthalate ester of containing benzyl alcohol, and n -butanol tail groups. Like most phthalates, BBP is non-volatile and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures.
Risk Evaluation for Butyl Benzyl Phthalate - US EPA
Butyl benzyl phthalate (CASRN 85-68-7) is a clear, oily liquid. The primary use for butyl benzyl phthalate is as a plasticizer in adhesives and sealants, floor coverings, paints and coatings, and use in plastic and rubber products.

Overall, phthalates will continue to exhibit modest growth. For example, DINP will experience growth throughout the world. World consumption of phthalate plasticizers is forecast to grow moderatley during 2025–25. Nonphthalate plasticizers are not based on phthalic acid, and have a different chemical structure and toxicological profile.
Benzyl Butyl Phthalate (BBP) - Chemical Supplier Distributor
Butyl Benzyl Phthalate (BBP) is a clear oily plasticizer that is high solvating, fast fusing and created for use in multiple different applications. BBP’s high efficiency allows for it to be used in a variety of different resins along with being compatible with many polymer types.
- Are phthalates Universal plasticizers?
- Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures). Thanks to their versatility and unique chemical properties, phthalates are considered as universal plasticizers in most industrial sectors.
- What are phthalates and how do they work?
- Phthalates are a large class of organic molecules of the family of plasticizers, agents that intercalate in the chemical structure of macromolecules such as PVC which give the material the typical properties of the plastic substances.
- What are the different types of phthalates?
- Although the phthalates belong to a large family of molecular organic compounds, some molecules are used more than others. Among them, we remember DEHP, DINP, DIDP, DUP, and all the linear phthalates (ideal for providing high flexibility even at low temperatures).
- What are some characteristics dependent on the presence of phthalates?
- Some examples of characteristics dependent on the presence and quantity of phthalates into the plastic polymers are the degree of flexibility of the polymer, the resilience and the ability to migrate.
