Uses/Applications

Polymer and Resin Production
Dibutyl Maleate is utilized as a comonomer in the production of copolymers and resins, particularly in the synthesis of vinyl and acrylic polymers. It is commonly used in the manufacture of vinyl acetate copolymers, which find applications in adhesives, coatings, paints, and sealants due to their excellent adhesion, flexibility, and weather resistance.

Coatings and Paints
DBM is employed as a reactive diluent in the formulation of coatings and paints to improve flow properties, reduce viscosity, and enhance film formation. It serves as a plasticizer and crosslinking agent in solvent-based and water-based coatings, providing improved adhesion, durability, and chemical resistance.

Adhesives and Sealants
Dibutyl Maleate is used as a reactive diluent and plasticizer in the formulation of adhesives and sealants, particularly in the construction, automotive, and packaging industries. It helps to improve the flexibility, tack, and bond strength of adhesive formulations, making them suitable for a wide range of substrates and applications.

Plasticizers
DBM can function as a plasticizer in polymer formulations, where it imparts flexibility, softness, and low-temperature properties to plastics and elastomers. It finds applications in PVC products such as cables, flooring, films, and flexible packaging, as well as in synthetic rubbers and thermoplastic elastomers.

Polymer Modification
Dibutyl Maleate is used for the modification of polymers to improve their processing properties, mechanical performance, and thermal stability. It can be copolymerized with other monomers to introduce desired characteristics into polymer matrices, such as increased flexibility, impact resistance, or adhesion.

Textile Finishing
DBM is employed in textile finishing processes as a crosslinking agent and modifier to enhance the properties of fabrics and fibers. It can be used in the formulation of finishes and coatings to impart wrinkle resistance, crease recovery, and water repellency to textiles, making them suitable for various apparel and home furnishing applications.
