Dibutyl maleate is a synthetic colorless organic chemical with a characteristic odor. 
Dibutyl maleate is mainly used in the manufacturing of adhesives, paints, copolymers & films, finishing agents, and cosmetics. 
The global market is expected to increase as the production of polymers & other derivatives of dibutyl maleate are increasing.

 

 

 

USES OF DIBUTYL MALEATE:


Dibutyl Maleate is used in the preparation of lactones, which is used for the synthesis of antibacterial compounds.
Dibutyl maleate is mainly used as a plasticizer for aqueous dispersions of copolymers with vinyl acetate and as an intermediate in the preparation of other chemical compounds.

With the invention of polyaspartic technology the material found another use. 
In this situation, an amine is reacted with a dialkyl maleate usually diethyl maleate but also dibutyl maleate may be used- utilizing the Michael addition reaction. 

The resulting products, polyaspartic esters products are then used in coatings, adhesives, sealants and elastomers.
Dibutyl maleate is widely used as a liquid plasticizer for vinyl and acrylic emulsion polymerization, and is used for copolymers applications involving PVC, plastisols and vinyl acetates for paints, adhesives, and synthetic lubricants.

Dibutyl maleate is used in various resins and in the preparation of emulsions for the paper industry, textile and lubricant additives.
Dibutyl maleate is also a suitable intermediate for use in organic synthesis, in the production of derivatives of succinic acid.

Dibutyl Maleate is used for creating sulfosuccinate surfactants in detergents and paints.
Dibutyl maleate offers excellent rheological properties, and Dibutyl maleate can improve adhesion, flexibility and waterproofing in inks and paints. 

Dibutyl maleate also improves the UV filtration power.
Hydrophobicity and water resistance of the PVAc latex films were increased by using DBM as comonomer.
Dibutyl maleate is used in synthesis resin and dope material, and is used in petroleum industry, fabric, plastic, and paper industrial dipping agent, dispersive agent, adhesive, accelerant, pesticide, surface active agent and others.

 

 


APPLICATION OF DIBUTYL MALEATE:

Dibutyl Maleate is a colorless, liquid plasticizer for vinyl resins, and is used for copolymers applications involving PVC and vinyl acetates. 
Dibutyl Maleate is an unsaturated ester which is used for creating sulfosuccinate surfactants in detergents and paints. 

Dubutyl Maleate is also used as a comonomer in paints and adhesives for vinyl and acrylic emulsion polymerization. 
Other applications of DBM include use in plastisols, dispersions, coatings, adhesives, and synthetic lubricants.

Dibutyl maleate is commonly used in the paint industry as a comonomer in vinyl and acrylic emulsion polymerization for various adhesives and paints. 
Dibutyl maleate is also used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, for example in the production of derivatives of succinic acid. 

Another common application is its use as a plasticizer in water resistant films.
Dibutyl maleate is widely used as a plasticizer in vinyl resins. 

About 90% of the global plasticizers produce are used for the manufacturing of PVC as plasticizers improve flexibility and durability. 
Dibutyl maleate is used in paints to improve the stability of paint towards water & ultraviolet light. 

The demand for Dibutyl maleate from the paints & coating industry is expected to grow as demand for water-resistant paints & coatings is increasing. 
The construction projects in developing economies will also further increase the demand for such paints & coatings.

Dibutyl maleate is now being used in the cosmetic industry as well. 
Dibutyl maleate acts as an SPF enhancer in skincare products and hair flexibility & gloss enhancer in hair products. 

Dibutyl maleate is used as a co-monomer with vinyl acetate monomer in polymer emulsion to improve the properties. 
Dibutyl maleate reduces the hardness and brittleness in resulting polymers.

Dibutyl maleate is used as a co-monomer in acrylic emulsions for the manufacturing of various adhesives and resins including food-grade additives. 
Dibutyl maleate is also used as an intermediate in the production of derivatives of succinic acid, whose global production is expected to grow over 10% annually. 

Dibutyl maleate is also used as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry. 
The changing prices of raw materials and the development of new eco-friendly coatings can reduce the market of dibutyl maleate.
