Description

Butyl Decyl Adipate is a high-performance diester plasticizer derived from adipic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent low-temperature flexibility and compatibility with a wide range of polymers, providing durable and resilient plasticized products. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and specialty lubricant industries seeking to enhance product performance and longevity.

Application

• Primary plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other polymers, imparting excellent low-temperature flexibility.
• Key component in the formulation of high-performance synthetic lubricants and functional fluids.
• Plasticizing agent for specialty adhesives, sealants, and caulks to improve workability and elasticity.
• Additive in coatings and inks to enhance film formation and durability.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex ester-based chemicals and surfactants.
• Used in the production of gaskets, hoses, and other molded rubber/plastic goods requiring permanent flexibility.

Quality Control

Our Butyl Decyl Adipate is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, color, acidity, and moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, maintaining an inert atmosphere (e.g., under nitrogen) is recommended to preserve quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and heat sources.
