Neopentyl glycol diheptanoate

Neopentyl glycol diheptanoate (CAS 68855-18-5) is a synthetic diester built from neopentyl glycol and heptanoic acid; an emollient base, functional lubricant and plasticizer.

Where is Neopentyl glycol diheptanoate used?

• Lubricant and metalworking formulations: synthetic base fluid or co-base
• Compressor oils, gear fluids and industrial process lubricants: thermal stability and low deposit formation
• Automotive specialty lubricants: synthetic esters for extended drain intervals
• Personal care: emollient
• It is compatible with elastomer seals in mechanical systems.

Good to know: Its ester structure delivers oxidative stability and low volatility, criteria for formulators selecting base fluids or skin-feel agents.
