Description

Dibutyl Glutarate is a high-purity diester compound, valued for its excellent solvency and plasticizing properties. This versatile chemical intermediate is crucial for formulators seeking a low-volatility, high-performance additive to enhance product flexibility and processability. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the polymer, coatings, and specialty chemical industries for producing advanced materials.

Application

• As a plasticizer and coalescing agent in polymer resins and synthetic rubbers.
• As a specialty solvent and intermediate in the synthesis of lubricants and functional fluids.
• As a key component in the formulation of high-performance adhesives, sealants, and coatings.
• In the production of inks and dyes as a viscosity modifier and carrier.
• As a chemical intermediate for the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• In personal care product formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent.

Quality Control

Our Dibutyl Glutarate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity (typically >98.0% by GC), physical properties, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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 bases 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 absorption.
