  • Applications

    Bis(2-butoxyethyl) sebacate is a non-phthalate diester plasticizer derived from sebacic acid, primarily used to impart flexibility to PVC and other polymers. It also serves as a processing aid in coatings, paints, inks, and adhesives to improve slip and compatibility. It is a component in sealants and elastomer/polyurethane formulations as a plasticizer and processing additive. In cosmetics and personal care, it can function as a carrier/solvent for fragrance materials and active ingredients, and as a lubricant during polymer processing. Given its non-phthalate nature, BBES is commonly evaluated as an alternative in plasticizer formulations, subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
