GENERAL
DESCRIPTION:

BUTYL
BENZOATE is used extensively in the formulation of dye carriers for
polyesters, acetates, triacetates, and their blends. With proper
emulsification, it can be used in both atmospheric and pressure
equipment without any degradation of its carrier activity.

BUTYL
BENZOATE is an easily handled liquid and is an excellent solvent for
all other carrier actives and emulsifiers. It is relatively non-toxic
and is biodegradable and is therefore the carrier active of choice
when strict effluents standards are encountered.



Specialty ester
used in the preparation of polyester fibers.  Used as an
alternative to phthalate esters in the plasticizer market.SALES
