  • Applications

    Dibutyl succinate (CAS 141-03-7) is primarily used as a plasticizer for polymers such as PVC, polyesters, and polyurethanes, improving flexibility and processability of the material. It also serves as a solvent or co-solvent in coatings, paints, inks, and adhesives, aiding solubility of components and controlling evaporation characteristics. In plastics and polymer processing, DBS acts as a processing aid and softening plasticizer to facilitate manufacturing of flexible materials. Additionally, it can be used in cosmetics and personal care formulations as a solvent or emollient, and is commonly evaluated as an intermediate in chemical synthesis to prepare other succinate esters. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
