Dimethyl adipate

CAS: 627-93-0

Overview

Dimethyl adipate (CAS 627-93-0 ) is a dibasic ester derived from adipic acid, recognized in procurement as adipic acid dimethyl ester. It functions as a plasticizer, solvent carrier, and lubricant base fluid across multiple industrial sectors.

In metalworking and industrial lubrication, it serves as a low-toxicity base fluid for cutting fluids, rust preventatives, and biodegradable lubricant formulations where ester-based alternatives to mineral oil are preferred.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into emollient systems for skin creams and hair products, where its low viscosity supports spreadability without the regulatory burden of heavier synthetic esters.

In flavor applications, it contributes fruity, wine-like notes to food and beverage formulations, with FEMA -approved status supporting its use in regulated flavor systems.

It also functions as a reactive diluent and coalescing solvent in coating and resin systems, improving flow and film formation. This versatility makes it a staple for manufacturers seeking high-performance chemical intermediates.

Dimethyl adipate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available for larger-volume buyers. Standard commercial grades meet technical and industrial specifications.

High-purity grades are available to satisfy food and flavor application requirements. FCC -grade material is available for buyers sourcing into food-contact or flavor end uses, ensuring compliance with safety standards.
