Description

1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol Diisovalerate is a high-purity diester derivative of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM) and isovaleric acid. This compound serves as a versatile intermediate and specialty plasticizer, offering enhanced compatibility and performance characteristics in demanding polymer formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking to modify flexibility, durability, and processing parameters.

Application

• Polymer Plasticizer: Imparts flexibility and low-temperature performance to PVC, polyurethanes, and other specialty polymers.
• Co-Additive in Coatings: Enhances film formation, adhesion, and weatherability in industrial and protective coating systems.
• Synthetic Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex esters, polyols, and other functional chemicals.
• Lubricant Additive: Acts as a viscosity modifier and anti-wear agent in specialty lubricant formulations.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Improves tack, peel strength, and elasticity in high-performance adhesives and sealants.
• Personal Care Ingredients: Functions as an emollient and carrier in cosmetic and personal care products (subject to compliance).

Quality Control

Our 1,4-Cyclohexanedimethanol Diisovalerate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay, identity confirmation, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and oxidizing agents. 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 uptake and contamination.
