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
