Description

Diisopropyl Azelate is a diester of isopropyl alcohol and azelaic acid, valued for its excellent solvency, low volatility, and favorable environmental profile. This compound serves as a high-performance, low-odor solvent and emollient, offering superior compatibility with a wide range of polymers and resins. It is essential for formulators in the coatings, personal care, and specialty lubricants industries seeking sustainable and effective ingredients.

Application

• Solvent and Carrier Fluid: Used in high-performance industrial coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations where low volatility and good solvency are required.
• Plasticizer and Lubricant: Acts as a processing aid and internal lubricant for PVC, polyurethanes, and other polymers, improving flexibility and workability.
• Personal Care Ingredient: Functions as a non-greasy, spreading emollient and solvent in cosmetic and skincare products like creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Chemical Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis for the production of more complex esters, plasticizers, and specialty chemicals.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a base oil or additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants and coolants.
• Cleaning Formulations: Used as a component in industrial and precision cleaning agents for its degreasing properties and residue-free evaporation.
