Characteristics

Uses and Applications

Key applications

  • PVC Plasticizer

Industries

  • Polymer Additives

Applications:

  • Improves the processability and feel of PVC products due to better handling of the flexible PVC products.

  • Enhances the rigidity of the PVC and makes its performance more enduring.

  • Used as a plasticizer in adhesive and sealing compositions being effective in modifying the flow and cohesive properties of the final product.

  • It also raises the products’ flexibility as well as adhesion strengths thereby improving the dependability and efficacy of the products.

 

  • Employed as a plasticiser for paints and varnishes, to control the viscosity of the systems and their ease of application.

  • Improves the mechanical properties of coatings and offers a consistent and attractive surface to the coated material.

  • Incorporated into cellulosic resins in order to enhance its flexibility and ease of processing.

  • Improves the mechanical characteristics of resins to ensure that they can be used in a variety of purposes.

  • Popular in the textile industry to enhance the drapability and handle of fabrics and the fibres used in their production.

  • Improves the sensation and usage quality of textiles for improved comfort and functionality.

Packing

Dibutyl phthalate is normally packed in sealed containers including drums or barrels to encourage the stability of the product at the time of transportation.
