BBP – Butyl Benzyl Phthalate is a phthalate-based plasticizer used in PVC and various other polymer systems. It is designed to provide flexibility, softness, durability, and improved processability.
BBP is commonly used in flexible PVC applications, vinyl flooring, rubber products, and adhesive formulations.
🔧 What Is BBP Used For?
The primary function of BBP is to soften polymers, make them more flexible, and improve their mechanical properties.
Key contributions of BBP:
✔ 1. Provides Flexibility
Gives PVC and similar plastics a high degree of elasticity.
✔ 2. Improves Mechanical Strength
Enhances:
Break resistance
Flexibility
Abrasion resistance
✔ 3. Offers Heat and UV Stability
Maintains long-term stability on polymer surfaces.
✔ 4. Enhances Processability
Improves extrusion and calendering performance in PVC production.
✔ 5. Adds Gloss and Soft Feel
Commonly preferred in decorative vinyl surfaces.
