Dioctyl Adipate

Dioctyl Adipate (CAS Number: 123-79-5) Supplier in Europe

Physical Details and Properties
Dioctyl Adipate (C₂₂H₄₂O₄), or di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate, is a clear, colorless liquid with a slight odor. It has a molecular weight of 370.57 g/mol, a boiling point of 417°C, and a relative density of 0.92. It is insoluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents like acetone and benzene. Dioctyl Adipate offers excellent low-temperature flexibility and thermal stability.

Production Methods
SoleChem EU sources Dioctyl Adipate from manufacturers who esterify adipic acid with 2-ethylhexanol using an acid catalyst. The process includes neutralization, water washing, and distillation to produce a high-purity product, ensuring consistent performance in industrial applications.

Industrial Applications
Dioctyl Adipate is a high-performance plasticizer and lubricant:

• Plastics: Used in PVC formulations for packaging, automotive interiors, and medical devices, providing low-temperature flexibility.

• Coatings and Adhesives: Enhances elasticity and spreadability in sealants, adhesives, and paints.

• Lubricants: Acts as a base fluid in synthetic lubricants for industrial machinery.

Safety Information
Dioctyl Adipate has low acute toxicity (oral-rat LD50 >9000 mg/kg) but may cause mild skin and eye irritation. Use protective gear and ensure proper ventilation during handling. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and incompatible substances like strong oxidizers.
