MALEATES PLASTICIZERS

Maleates plasticizers or Maleic acid esters are are generally suitable for vinyl acetates or Polyvinyl Chloride applications. They are generally reactive cross-linked monomers which are co-polymerized with other monomers. They are clear, colorless liquid that are miscible in various organic solvents. They are highly resistant to humidity and UV light, thus ensuring that the plasticizer does not leach out. It is used to provide elasticity and flexibility to the resins.

Di Butyl Maleate

Di Butyl Maleates(DBM) are a kind of maleates plasticizers which are clear, virtually colorless liquid with an ester-like odour. These are soluble in water and are considered combustible.The copolymer formed with vinyl acetate and Di Butyl maleate are used in manufacturing of paints giving them higher flexibility, stability to water and ultra violet light besides higher adherence.

  • Used in plastisols, dispersions, coatings, adhesives, and synthetic lubricants.
  • It is commonly used in the paint industry as a comonomer in vinyl and acrylic emulsion polymerization for various adhesives and paints.
  • Another common application is its use as a plasticizer in water resistant films.
  • It is also a suitable intermediate for use in organic synthesis, e.g. in the production of derivatives of succinic acid.

Di Octyl Maleate

Di Octyl Maleate (DOM) is a diester of maleic acid that can as a plasticizer and emollient. It is a clear, virtually colorless liquid with an ester-like odor. It is used in resins to provide elasticity and flexibility. Di Octyl Maleate is a maleic acid that can act as a plasticizer and is used in resins to provide elasticity and flexibility. Dioctyl Maleate is a co-monomer which can be polymerized with vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride (PVC), acrylates as well as stearates. These types of polymerizations with dioctyl maleate can be used in the production of adhesives, emulsion paints, surfactants, textile coatings and wetting agents

  • Used chiefly as a comonomer in emulsion polymer base resins for paints and adhesives. 
  • It can be useful as a skin-conditioning agent in products such as moisturizers, cleansers, and make-up.
  • It can also be used in shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids.
  • It can be used in the production of adhesives, emulsion paints, surfactants, textile coatings and wetting agents

Mono Iso Octyl Maleate (MIOM/MOM)

Mono Iso Octyl Maleate (MIOM/MOM) is a cleaning agent for steel coatings. It is used in the synthesis of polymeric resins and as a curing agent for some polymers.

  • Mono Iso Octyl Maleate is widely used in manufacturing plastisols, adhesives and other essential commercial products.
