Propylene glycol dibenzoate
What is Propylene glycol dibenzoate?
Propylene glycol dibenzoate (CAS 19224-26-1), also recognized by its FEMA 3419 designation, is a benzoate ester plasticizer and solvent used in polymer and coating systems.
Where is Propylene glycol dibenzoate used?
- PVC and vinyl compounding: efficient plasticization
- Flexible film, flooring and profiles: phthalate-free plasticizer with good compatibility
- Waterborne coatings: coalescent agent aiding film formation with low VOC burden
- Adhesives and sealants: improves tack, flexibility and substrate wetting in solvent-borne and emulsion-based systems
- Packaging inks: solvent-carrier controlling viscosity and resin compatibility
- It functions as a low-volatility plasticizer and coalescent, improving flexibility and film formation.
Good to know: Buyers should confirm purity specifications and lot documentation directly with the supplier, as grade designations vary by manufacturer.
Commercial specifications
- Supply typically in drums and IBC totes for industrial volumes
