Plasticizers

DBM (Dibutyl Maleate)

Reactive plasticizer and comonomer capable of copolymerisation.

Product description

Because it contains a double bond, DBM is a reactive ester that can take part in copolymerisation and, once bound into the chain, does not migrate. It is used as an internal plasticizer in vinyl acetate and acrylic emulsions. This gives adhesive and paint films permanent flexibility.

Application areas

  • Vinyl acetate and acrylic emulsions
  • Waterborne adhesive systems
  • Copolymerisation as an internal plasticizer
  • Textile and paper coating binders
  • Lubricant additive production
