What is n-butylbenzenesulfonamide?
N-butylbenzenesulfonamide (CAS 3622-84-2), also marketed as BBSA, Plastomoll BMB and Dellatol BBS, is a sulfonamide-based plasticizer.
Where is n-butylbenzenesulfonamide used?
- Polyamide resins: reduces melt viscosity
- Extruded and injection-molded parts such as films, fibers and engineering components: improves flexibility
- Hot-melt adhesives and coatings: reactive or non-reactive plasticizer
- Nail lacquers and film-forming systems: enhances flexibility and wear resistance of the dried film
- It also acts as a catalyst or co-catalyst in polyurethane and resin cure systems.
Good to know: Select suppliers offer purity specifications suited to personal care end uses.
Commercial specifications
- Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
