A look at Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)
Di-n-butyl Phthalate (DBP), more commonly known as Dibutyl Phthalate, is a specialist plasticizer. It is used mainly as a plasticizer in resins and a polymer in PVC, but it is also used in adhesives, printing inks, sealants/ grouting agents, nitrocellulose paints, film coatings, and cosmetics. Dibutyl Phthalate is known to provide excellent flexibility at low temperatures and it has a broad range of compatibility with modifying resins.

What Social Networking can do for You
By now you have no doubt heard about the place social networking has earned in the business world, but is it relevant to you and to the chemical industry? Many other companies have already joined in the social media revolution to give them an opportunity to reach a large audience. So, where do you start? While there are a number of different social networking websites to choose from, the most popular are Facebook and Twitter. Facebook allows you to create a page for your company and post updates about current happenings, pictures, and links as well as communicate with the people that become 'fans' of your page. Twitter is what is known as a microblogging service, allowing you to post short updates, or tweets, of 140 characters or less. Both of these services can be a great way to get started in social networking, and can be used to let others know what conferences and events you'll be attending or even sending out press releases. So get out there and start networking!
