Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- DBP
- Di-N-Butyl Phthalate
- Phthalic Acid Dibutyl Ester
- Dibutyl Orthophthalate
Dibutyl phthalate supplier for industrial plasticiser and solvent buyers in Malaysia. Also called DBP, di-n-butyl phthalate, phthalic acid dibutyl ester and dibutyl orthophthalate, this clear oily liquid is the normal-butyl phthalate ester used where shorter-chain plasticising performance is required.
Commercial offers are usually selected as industrial plasticiser grade for general compounding, coatings and ink grade for film-forming systems, or a higher-purity technical grade when colour or impurity limits are tighter. This page covers di-n-butyl phthalate only, not DIBP, DEP, DOP or DEHP.
Processors use DBP to plasticise nitrocellulose and cellulose resins, and as a carrier in coatings, lacquers, printing inks, adhesives and sealants. Selected polymer and rubber recipes also list dibutyl phthalate where the formulation calls for this ester rather than a longer-chain phthalate.

Dibutyl Phthalate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Industrial plasticiser grade DBP | clear oily liquid | — | Primary plasticiser and processing aid for nitrocellulose, cellulose resins and selected polymer compounds where standard industrial DBP is specified. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Coatings and ink grade DBP | clear oily liquid | — | Plasticiser and carrier in lacquers, printing inks, adhesives and sealant systems that call for dibutyl phthalate rather than a longer-chain phthalate. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Higher-purity technical DBP | clear oily liquid | — | Duties that need tighter colour, moisture or impurity control than general industrial plasticiser grade, confirmed against the buyer's specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Safety and handling
Store sealed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from strong oxidisers and incompatible materials. Handle with suitable gloves, eye protection and adequate ventilation, and follow the safety data sheet for the quoted grade.
Common questions about dibutyl phthalate
Is dibutyl phthalate the same as DBP and di-n-butyl phthalate?
Yes. Dibutyl phthalate, DBP and di-n-butyl phthalate name the same normal-butyl ester (CAS 84-74-2). It is not diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP), diethyl phthalate (DEP), dioctyl phthalate (DOP/DEHP) or other phthalates. State the CAS or full chemical name if your specification sheet uses a different abbreviation.
What is dibutyl phthalate used for industrially?
DBP is used as a plasticiser and high-boiling carrier for nitrocellulose and cellulose resins, coatings, lacquers, printing inks, adhesives, sealants and selected polymer or rubber compounds. Describe the end use when enquiring so the grade can be matched to the duty.
Which DBP grade should I request?
Industrial plasticiser grade suits general compounding and process work. Coatings and ink grade is often preferred for lacquers, printing inks and adhesive systems. Higher-purity technical material is selected when colour or impurity limits are tighter. Send the target specification with the enquiry.
What specifications matter for a dibutyl phthalate enquiry?
Buyers commonly confirm appearance, assay, colour, moisture and any impurity limits required by the formulation. Include the current specification or a sample requirement so the quoted grade can be checked against it.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List any required product documents and preferred pack format in the enquiry. Available documentation, packing and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
How do I get a dibutyl phthalate price in Malaysia?
Send the grade or purity target, application, quantity and delivery location. Mention documentation needs and preferred packing so the quotation can address the complete requirement. Prices are given on enquiry with a stated validity period.
