Di Butyl Maleate (DBM)

About Product

Di Butyl Maleate (DBM) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid ester primarily used as an intermediate in the production of resins, plasticizers, and adhesives. It acts as a reactive co-monomer in emulsion polymers and imparts flexibility, weather resistance, and durability to coatings, sealants, and rubber compounds. Its excellent compatibility with acrylates and vinyl acetate makes it ideal for modifying plastic and rubber materials in industrial formulations.
