Dibutyl (2E)-2-butenedioate(CAS: 105-75-9)

Dibutyl (2E)-2-butenedioate, also known as dibutyl maleate, is a colorless or slightly yellow, oily liquid with a faint odor. Its chemical formula is C12H20O4. It is characterized by its low viscosity and good solubility in organic solvents.

Dibutyl (2E)-2-butenedioate is primarily used as a plasticizer in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compounds, enhancing flexibility and reducing brittleness. It is also used in the synthesis of other compounds, as a stabilizer in lubricants, and as a component in printing inks and adhesives.

Dibutyl (2E)-2-butenedioate is considered safe for industrial use, but it is important to follow safety guidelines. It is mildly irritating to the eyes and skin. Proper handling procedures, including the use of gloves and goggles, should be observed. Storage in a cool, dry place away from sources of ignition is recommended to prevent any potential hazards.

Dibutyl (2E)-2-butenedioate should be stored in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and heat sources. It should be kept in tightly sealed containers to prevent evaporation and exposure to air. Avoid storing near incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers. Ensure proper ventilation in the storage area to prevent the buildup of flammable vapors.
