Dioctyl Adipate
Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5), commonly abbreviated DOA, is a dialkyl ester of adipic acid widely used as a plasticizer, lubricant and emollient. With a relatively low glass transition depression and good low-temperature flexibility, DOA is favored in PVC and other flexible polymer applications where softness and cold performance are important. It is also used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient and in industrial fluids for improved flow and lubrication.
KieRay Chem supplies Dioctyl adipate with consistent quality and documentation, providing flexible packaging and logistical support for industrial and formulation customers. Our technical team can advise on blending, compatibility with polymer systems and recommended use levels to achieve targeted mechanical and processing properties. Dioctyl adipate is selected by formulators and purchasing teams that need dependable identity, consistent handling, and repeatable performance from batch to batch. KieRay Chem supports customers with responsive technical communication, careful document control, export-ready packing, and stable supply planning. Our team can coordinate specification confirmation, sample evaluation, production scheduling, and international logistics so that this CAS 123-79-5 material is easier to qualify and reorder.
1. Plasticizer for flexible PVC and elastomers: Dioctyl adipate is an effective plasticizer that imparts softness and flexibility while maintaining low-temperature performance. It lowers the glass transition temperature and improves elongation, making it suitable for flexible films, tubing and wire insulation where pliability is required over a wide temperature range. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
2. Cosmetic and personal-care emollient: DOA functions as a lightweight, non-greasy emollient in skin-care and cosmetic formulations, improving spreadability and sensory profile. It enhances the solubility of lipophilic actives and contributes to a smooth skin feel in creams, lotions and make-up formulations. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
3. Lubricant and process aid: as a process lubricant and release agent, Dioctyl adipate reduces melt viscosity and improves flow during extrusion and molding. It can aid in mold release for thermoplastic and thermoset compounds and is compatible with many common polymer matrices. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
4. Low-temperature performance modifier: DOA is selected in formulations requiring flexibility at sub-ambient temperatures, such as outdoor cables, seals and cold-weather hoses. Its molecular structure provides retained flexibility and minimizes embrittlement in cold environments. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
5. Compatibility and blending: DOA blends well with other esters and phthalate alternatives to tailor plasticizer profiles for specific mechanical and migration requirements. It is often used with higher molecular weight plasticizers to balance extraction resistance and volatility for durable applications. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
6. Handling and supplier support: KieRay Chem provides DOA with COA, recommended storage (cool, dry area) and guidance on typical loading levels for various applications. Benefits include reliable low-temperature flexibility, good compatibility with PVC and elastomers, and ease of incorporation in standard compounding processes. It also helps users improve process consistency, manage production risk, and maintain predictable results across scale-up, routine manufacturing, and finished-product quality checks for Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5).
