Prospects for the application of a new plasticiser-dibutoxyethyl adipinate-for the production of cold-resistant sealing rubbers

摘要

A wide range of plasticisers [1,2] is currently being used in Russian industry,and work on finding new plasticisers is ongoing [3-8].The development of new products intended to replace traditional plasticisers-dibutyl phthalate(DBP),dibutyl sebacinate(DBS),and ester LZ-7-is governed by the need to reduce the volatility,cost,and toxicity of existing plasticisers,expand the feedstock base,and utilise the byproducts of many production processes.A promising plasticiser is dibutoxyethyl adipinate(DBEA)[6],the production of which was assimilated in 2002 by the Urals Chemical Co.(Nizhnii Tagil).The main characteristics of DBEA [6] are given below:
