Dibutyl sebacate (DBS) is an organic chemical, a di-n-butyl ester of sebacic acid,^{[citation needed]} in pure form a clear liquid.^[2] Its other commonly used names include its IUPAC name, dibutyl decanedioate, various nonsystematic names for symmetric dialkyl esters of dialkanedioic acids (e.g., di-n-butyl sebacate and 1,10-dibutyl decanedioate), as well as Kodaflex DBS, PX 404, and many others.^[3]

Its main use is in production of plastics,^[2] as a plasticizer,^{[citation needed]} for instance, in production of cellulose acetate butyrate, cellulose acetate propionate, ethyl cellulose, polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and other plastics, as well as many synthetic rubbers (especially nitrile rubber and neoprene).^{[citation needed]}

DBS can be used in plastics for food packaging,^[2] for medical devices, and for pharmaceutical applications, e.g. as a plasticizer for film coating of tablets, beads, and granules.^{[citation needed]} It is also used in shaving creams^[2] (as a lubricant^{[citation needed]}) and as a flavor enhancer (e.g., in baked goods, candy, ice cream, and non-alcoholic beverages).^[2] It is also used as a minor component in Otto fuel II, a torpedo propellant,^[2] as a desensitizer in this monopropellant.^{[citation needed]}

The compatibility of DBS with a range of plastic materials is excellent,^{[citation needed]} its oil resistivity is good,^{[citation needed]} and its properties at low temperatures are "superior".^{[clarification needed][This quote needs a citation]}
