Extraction method of dibutyl ester_Kain Industrial Additive

Background and overview^[1][2]

Dibutyl ester, also known as Dibutylphthalate (DBP), is an excellent plasticizer. Due to its relatively low price and good processability, it is widely used at home and abroad. Dibutyl ester has good solubility for a variety of resins and has the characteristics of light color, good electrical properties, low volatility, low odor and low temperature resistance. Dibutyl ester is an ideal plasticizer for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl chloride, etc. It has good softening effect and excellent stability, adhesion, flex resistance and waterproofness. In addition, dibutyl ester is also used in the manufacture of chemical products such as paints, adhesives, artificial fibers, printing inks, safety glass, dyes, pesticides, perfume solvents and fabric lubricants.

Dibutyl ester can cause functional changes in the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system, and then further cause changes in their tissues; it has hepatotropism, can cause mild sensitization, has a moderate accumulation effect and mild It has a stimulating effect and is a suspected endocrine disruptor. At present, many countries such as the United States and the European Union have explicitly banned or restricted the use of dibutyl ester. my country also encourages the use of other chemicals to replace the toxic and harmful dibutyl ester in daily chemical products.
