Description

Bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Adipate (CAS NO 103-23-1) is a high-performance, low-volatility diester plasticizer derived from adipic acid and 2-ethylhexanol. This compound is valued for its excellent low-temperature flexibility, heat stability, and compatibility with a wide range of polymers, making it a critical component in formulating durable and resilient materials. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty chemical industries for applications requiring long-lasting plasticization and resistance to extraction.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), imparting superior flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Key ingredient in the formulation of synthetic lubricants and functional fluids.
• Used as a solvent and carrier in specialty coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• Plasticizer for various elastomers and synthetic rubbers.
• Component in sealants and caulks to enhance workability and durability.
• Used in the production of food contact materials and medical devices where compliant grades are specified.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty esters and chemical compounds.
