Dibutoxy ethyl phthalate

Chemical compound From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dibutoxy ethyl phthalate is an organic compound and phthalate ester, baring 2-butoxyethanol groups. Like most phthalates it is nonvolatile, and remains liquid over a wide range of temperatures. Although its water solubility is low, it remains one of the most water soluble of the common phthalates.[citation needed]
