China, India, and the United States are the leading exporters of dibutyl phthalate (CAS 84-74-2), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024; major importers include Vietnam, Mexico, and Germany, reflecting strong demand in plasticizer-dependent manufacturing sectors. Export volumes from China have moderated slightly amid tightening environmental regulations, while dibutyl phthalate prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from PVC compounders in Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Dibutyl phthalate (DBP) is a colorless to pale yellow, oily liquid with a faint, aromatic odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of −35 °C and a boiling point of 340 °C at atmospheric pressure. It is classified as an aromatic ester and a member of the phthalate family of organic compounds. DBP is primarily used as a plasticizer for cellulose esters, polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and other polymers to enhance flexibility, durability, and workability. It also serves as a solvent and carrier in coatings, inks, adhesives, and pesticide formulations, and finds application in the production of lacquers and textile auxiliaries.
Di-n-butyl phthalate has been used as an insect repellant.
Dibutyl phthalate occurs as an odorless, oily, colorless, or very slightly yellow-colored, viscous liquid.
This chemical is included in Basic Chemicals - Plasticizers. See more about what is Dibutyl phthalate and Dibutyl phthalate SDS information.
