Dibutyl terephthalate(CAS: 1962-75-0)

Dibutyl terephthalate is an organic compound with the formula (C8H12O2)2. It is a colorless, clear liquid with low volatility and good thermal stability. It is used in the production of polyester resins and as a plasticizer in certain polymers.

Dibutyl terephthalate is primarily used as a plasticizer in polyester resins and polyesters. It finds applications in the manufacturing of packaging materials, adhesives, coatings, and as a reactive diluent in polymer formulations.

Dibutyl terephthalate is generally considered safe for industrial use under normal conditions. However, it should be handled with care to avoid skin contact and inhalation of dust. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are recommended.

Dibutyl terephthalate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. It should be kept in tightly sealed containers to prevent exposure to air and moisture. Storage temperature should not exceed 25°C to maintain its stability.
