Description

Diethylene Glycol Dibenzoate is a high-performance, non-phthalate plasticizer and solvent ester. This compound matters for formulators seeking a versatile, low-volatility additive with excellent solvating power and compatibility with a wide range of polymers. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the plastics, adhesives, coatings, and specialty chemical industries to modify material properties and enhance product performance.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for polyvinyl acetate (PVAc), polyvinyl butyral (PVB), and cellulose-based resins.
• Solvent and coalescing agent in specialty adhesives and sealants to improve film formation and flexibility.
• Additive in printing inks and industrial coatings to control viscosity and drying time.
• Functional fluid and process aid in the production of synthetic fibers and films.
• Plasticizer for nitrocellulose and other specialty lacquers.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other benzoate esters and specialty chemicals.
• Component in gasket and sealant formulations requiring low-temperature flexibility.
