Description

Dioctylmalate CAS NO 15763-02-7 is a high-purity diester of malic acid, valued for its excellent plasticizing and solvent properties. This specialty chemical is a key ingredient in formulations requiring low volatility, high thermal stability, and good compatibility with a wide range of polymers. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries for producing flexible, durable, and high-performance end products.

Application

• Plasticizer for PVC and other polymers, providing flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Solvent and coalescing agent in high-performance industrial and architectural coatings.
• Emollient and skin-feel enhancer in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Lubricant and processing aid in the manufacture of plastics and synthetic fibers.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex esters and specialty chemicals.
• Additive for adhesives and sealants, improving workability and final film properties.
