Description

Diethyl Adipate is a high-purity diester of adipic acid and ethanol, widely recognized for its excellent solvency and plasticizing properties. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its low volatility and compatibility with a broad range of polymers and resins. It serves as a critical component for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and fragrance industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality in their formulations.

Application

• Plasticizer: Used as a specialty plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC), cellulose acetate, and synthetic rubbers to enhance flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Solvent & Carrier: Acts as an effective solvent for dyes, pigments, and resins in industrial coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations.
• Fragrance & Flavor Intermediate: Serves as a key building block and fixative in the synthesis of esters for perfumes and artificial flavorings.
• Lubricant & Functional Fluid: Employed as a base or additive in synthetic lubricants and specialty functional fluids.
• Polymer Production: Utilized as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of polyesters and polyurethanes.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as an emollient and solvent in cosmetic products like nail polishes and skin creams.

Quality Control

Our Diethyl Adipate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC), to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption.
