Dibutyl Phthalate CAS 84-74-2

Chemical Properties Of Dibutyl Phthalate CAS 84-74-2

Dibutyl phthalate (DBP, CAS 84-74-2, C₁₆H₂₂O₄, MW ~278.35) is stable at ambient conditions but hydrolyzes in acid/alkali (especially with heat) into phthalic acid and butanol; it has moderate thermal stability, decomposing above 300°C to release toxic fumes, is highly soluble in organic solvents but slightly in water (15 mg/L at 25°C), undergoes transesterification and saponification, acts as a plasticizer for polymers like PVC, and reacts with strong oxidizers.

Product Application Of Dibutyl Phthalate CAS 84-74-2

  • Organic synthesis, ion selective electrode additives, solvents, pesticides, plasticizers, gas chromatography stationary liquid (maximum operating temperature 100°C, solvents are acetone, benzene, dichloromethane, ethanol), selective retention and separation of aromatic compounds, unsaturated compounds, terpene compounds and various oxygen-containing compounds (alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, etc.).
  • As a plasticizer for cellulose ester, salty synthetic and natural rubber, polystyrene; it makes polyvinyl chloride and its copolymers cold-resistant.
  • Dibutyl phthalate is mainly used as a plasticizer for nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl chloride, etc.
