Dibutyl DL-Malate is widely used as a plasticizer in the production of polymers and resins, enhancing their flexibility and durability. It is particularly effective in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) applications, where it improves processability and end-product performance. In the coatings and paints industry, it serves as a solvent and coalescing agent, aiding in film formation and improving finish quality. Additionally, it finds application in the cosmetics industry as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent, providing smoothness and softness to personal care products. Its compatibility with various materials makes it a versatile component in industrial and consumer applications.
