Full Description
Dibutyl maleate (DBM) is a reactive diluent monomer with the molecular formula C12H20O4 that functions as a crosslinking and curing agent in polymer systems. This chemical is primarily utilized in the coatings and construction industries as well as plastics and polymers applications where controlled crosslinking is required. DBM serves as both a monomer and reactive diluent, enabling polymerization reactions while reducing viscosity in formulations.
