  • Applications

    Succinic acid, butyl ethyl ester (CAS 67233-92-5) is used primarily as a plasticizer and solvent for polymer systems; notably as a plasticizer for PVC, EVA, and polyester to improve flexibility and processability. It also serves as a solvent and processing aid for coatings, inks, and adhesives formulations. As a diester, it is an important building block for the synthesis of specialty esters and polyester resins in polymer chemistry. In cosmetics and personal care, it may be used as a solvent or carrier and can function as a fragrance fixative in certain formulations. Additionally, succinic acid diesters are considered a route toward bio-based polyesters and green polymer platforms in industrial chemistry.
