It is non-flammable, has low vapor pressure, is highly biodegradable, and is not classified as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). It serves as an excellent replacement for high-toxicity solvents like NMP or methylene chloride.
We supply in standard 200 kg HDPE drums, IBC totes, and offer customized packaging sizes for research laboratories and pilot operations.
Dimethyl Adipate is non-hazardous and readily biodegradable under standard OECD guidelines. It has a low toxicity profile, making it a preferred green solvent alternative to chlorinated or high-VOC solvents. It is not restricted under major transport regulations.
Comprehensive chemical specs, catalytic pathways, and quality compliance guidelines for raw materials sourcing.
Dimethyl Adipate is the diester of adipic acid. It is synthesized by the complete esterification of adipic acid with excess methanol under acid catalysis, followed by fractional distillation to remove impurities. It is a clear, colorless, and stable liquid with low volatility.
Dimethyl Adipate is widely used as a biodegradable, low-VOC solvent in industrial coatings, resin cleanups, paint strippers, and ink formulations. It also serves as an intermediate in the production of specialty plasticizers, polyurethanes, and cosmetic emollients.
We produce Dimethyl Adipate with a purity profile of >=99.0% by GC, offering highly stable moisture and low-acid profiles.
It is stored in bulk steel containers or HDPE drums. Keep containers tightly sealed in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated place.
It is non-hazardous under standard transport regulations, has a high flash point, and is stored safely. Detailed safety data sheets (SDS) are provided.
