Description

Ditetradecyl Succinate is a high-purity diester compound derived from succinic acid and tetradecyl alcohols. This specialty chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its hydrophobic properties and excellent solvency. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of advanced lubricants, plasticizers, and specialty polymers across several high-value industries. For precise identification, the compound is registered under CAS No. 26720-09-2.

Application

• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Acts as a synthetic base oil or additive, providing excellent viscosity-temperature characteristics and oxidation stability for high-performance industrial and automotive lubricants.
• Polymer & Plasticizer Industry: Functions as a specialty plasticizer and compatibilizer for engineering plastics, synthetic rubbers, and PVC, enhancing flexibility and low-temperature performance.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and carrier oil in premium cosmetic formulations, creams, and lotions due to its non-greasy feel and good spreadability.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key intermediate or building block in organic synthesis for producing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and other ester-based specialty chemicals.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Employed as a tackifier modifier and processing aid to improve adhesion, cohesion, and application properties in hot-melt and pressure-sensitive adhesive systems.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Utilized as a lubricant and softening agent for synthetic fibers and yarns during spinning and weaving processes to reduce friction and static.
