Description
Dimethyl Sebacate (CAS 106-79-6, EC 203-431-4), also known as Dimethyl Decanedioate, Dimethylsebacat, and NSC 9415, is a diester derived from sebacic acid and methanol. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 29171310.
In polymer and plastics processing, it functions as a plasticizer and heat stabilizer by reducing intermolecular forces within polymer chains, improving flexibility and thermal resistance. In personal care formulations, it acts as an emollient and lubricating agent, forming a lightweight film on skin that reduces friction without occlusion. It is also approved as a flavorant in food applications.
Dimethyl Sebacate is available in technical and food-contact grades, supplied as a liquid or solidified melt depending on ambient temperature. It is compliant with REACH regulations and can be sourced to FCC specifications for food-grade applications. Standard packaging includes drums and IBC containers.
