Diethyl adipate

In the beauty and personal care sector, Diethyl adiapte functions as an emollient, a fragrance ingredient with a fruity profile, and an effective masking agent that helps neutralize undesirable base notes in formulations. Its oil solubility and soft sensory profile make it suitable for sun care, body care, skin care, and fragrance applications. In industrial applications, diethyl adipate acts as a coupling agent during the termination step of the anionic polymerization of styrenic block copolymers such as SBR and SBS, enabling the formation of radial polymers with improved flow properties and enhanced performance under extreme temperatures. These coupled polymers are widely used in bitumen, tires, sealants, and adhesives.
