Description

Bis(2-Ethylbutyl) Phthalate is a high-purity phthalate ester plasticizer known for its excellent solvating power and compatibility with a wide range of polymers. This compound is valued for its ability to impart flexibility, durability, and low-temperature performance to various synthetic materials. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable and consistent performance in their formulations.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins in wire & cable insulation, flooring, and film applications.
• Functional additive in synthetic rubber and elastomer compounding to enhance processability and elasticity.
• Solvent and carrier medium in specialty adhesives, sealants, and printing inks.
• Coalescing agent and plasticizer in polymer dispersions and coating formulations.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex ester-based chemicals and lubricant additives.
• Component in gasket and sealant formulations requiring low volatility and good permanence.

Quality Control

Our Bis(2-Ethylbutyl) Phthalate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is tested against rigorous internal specifications, which typically include assay, color, acidity, and moisture content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from strong acids and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption and contamination.
