China and India are the leading exporters of Butylparaben (CAS 94-26-8), accounting for the largest shares of global supply, while the United States, Germany, and South Korea represent the top importing countries. Global Butylparaben prices have remained relatively stable over the past two years amid consistent export volumes from Asia and steady demand from pharmaceutical and cosmetic manufacturing hubs in North America and Europe.
Butylparaben is a white to off-white crystalline solid with a faint, characteristic odor and low volatility; it has a melting point of approximately 68–70 °C and is sparingly soluble in water but readily soluble in organic solvents. It is an aromatic ester, specifically the n-butyl ester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and belongs to the class of parabens—alkyl esters widely used for their antimicrobial properties. Its primary commercial use is as a preservative in personal care products, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical formulations due to its efficacy against bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It is also employed in food packaging materials and certain industrial applications where microbial stabilization is required.
