BIS(2-N-BUTOXYETHYL)PHTHALATE Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties The empirical formula of dibutoxyethyl phthalate (DBEP) is C20H30O6. It is a colorless liquid, with a density of 1.063.It is soluble in organic solvents and fairly insoluble in water.
Uses It is used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, and other resins.
Definition ChEBI: A phthalate ester obtained by the formal condensation of both the carboxy groups of phthalic acid with two molecules of 2-butoxyethanol.
Production Methods DBEP is formed by the esterification of glycol monobutyl ether with phthalic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst (sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid) or noncatalytically at high temperature.
