Diethyl adipate(CAS: 141-28-6)

Diethyl adipate is an ester of adipic acid with ethanol, commonly used as a plasticizer. Its chemical formula is C10H20O4, and it is a colorless, odorless liquid with low volatility. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, and it has good thermal stability and low toxicity, making it suitable for various industrial applications.

Diethyl adipate is widely used in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) as a flexible plasticizer. It also finds applications in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food industries as an emulsifier and solvent. Additionally, it is used in research for developing new materials and as a component in some specialty coatings and adhesives.

Diethyl adipate is generally considered safe when used properly, with low toxicity and minimal health risks. However, it should be handled with care, avoiding inhalation and skin contact. Safety standards recommend using appropriate protective equipment, and it is classified as non-hazardous under many regulatory guidelines. Always follow manufacturer instructions for safe handling.

Diethyl adipate should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. It is stable under normal storage conditions but should be kept in a sealed, airtight container to prevent moisture absorption. Ideal storage temperature ranges from 10°C to 25°C, and it should be stored in a well-ventilated area to ensure safety and maintain quality.
