Plasticizers are additives used to increase the flexibility, durability, and workability of polymers, especially rigid plastics like PVC. By embedding themselves between polymer chains, they reduce intermolecular forces, making the material softer and more pliable. They are widely used in products like cables, flooring, medical tubing, and packaging.

N-Butanol

N-Butanol (1-butanol) is a four-carbon linear alcohol with the chemical formula C₄H₉OH. It is a colorless, flammable liquid with a mild, alcoholic odor. N-Butanol is widely used as a solvent in paints, coatings, adhesives, and chemical synthesis. It serves as an intermediate in the manufacture of plasticizers, butyl acrylate, and other chemicals. Its moderate volatility and solvent properties make it valuable in industrial and commercial applications.
