Diisodecyl Adipate (DIDA) is a diester of adipic acid and diisodecanol. Here's a detailed explanation of its properties, uses, and safety considerations:

Chemical Properties:

  • Structure: Diisodecyl adipate (DIDA) has the chemical formula C22H42O4. It consists of two isodecyl groups (C10H21) attached to adipic acid (C6H10O4), resulting in a relatively large and flexible molecular structure.

  • Physical State: DIDA is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an oily consistency. It is insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents.

Applications:

  • Plasticizer: Diisodecyl adipate (DIDA) is primarily used as a plasticizer in plastic products, especially polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It enhances the flexibility, softness, and durability of PVC materials, making them less prone to cracking or breaking.

  • Moisturizing Agent: It is also used in cosmetics and personal care products to improve texture and provide moisture retention. It helps maintain skin hydration and provides a smooth feel.

  • Industrial Uses: DIDA is used in lubricants and as an additive in various industrial applications, particularly where flexibility and stability under demanding conditions are important.

Advantages:

  • Good Flexibility: DIDA improves the mechanical properties of plastic products, making them more resistant to wear and breakage.

  • Thermal Stability: Diisodecyl adipate has excellent thermal stability, which makes it suitable for use in high-temperature and demanding environments.

Health and Safety Considerations:

  • Toxicity: Diisodecyl adipate is generally considered to be low in toxicity, but precautionary measures should still be taken to avoid skin and eye irritation upon direct contact.

Summary:

Diisodecyl adipate (DIDA) is a versatile diester that is primarily used as a plasticizer and moisturizing agent in a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Its properties make it valuable in the production of flexible plastics and in cosmetics, though careful handling is recommended to minimize health risks.

 

Diisodecyl Adipate (DIDA) is available in Bulk, IBC, Drums, and Cans.
