Diisodecyl adipate

Diisodecyl adipate (CAS 27178-16-1), or DIDA, is a high-molecular-weight ester plasticizer and lubricant base fluid derived from adipic acid.

Where is Diisodecyl adipate used?

• Plastics processing: primary or secondary plasticizer in PVC and flexible polymer formulations
• Rubber compounding: softens and processes compounds for automotive seals, gaskets and tire components
• Cable jacketing, automotive interior components and sealing profiles: improves cold-temperature performance
• Lubricant blends: synthetic base fluid or co-fluid delivering stable viscosity over a wide service temperature range
• Compressor oils, gear lubricants and metalworking fluids benefit from this viscosity stability.
• Coatings and adhesives: carrier or solvent compatible with polymer matrices

Good to know: Low volatility is a critical processing requirement in these applications.
