Description

Dioctyl adipate (CAS 123-79-5 ), commonly abbreviated as DOA, is a diester plasticizer and lubricant used across food-contact materials, polymer processing, and personal care formulations. With FEMA 4476 approval, it also functions as a flavoring agent in food applications. Buyers source it primarily for its performance in low-temperature flexible PVC and as a food-grade lubricant. In plastics processing, DOA is compounded into PVC films, cables, and flexible profiles where low-temperature flexibility is a critical specification, particularly for cold-storage packaging and refrigeration. Food manufacturers use it as a FEMA-approved flavoring ingredient and as a direct food-contact lubricant in processing equipment. In personal care, it functions as a lightweight emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It is frequently found in lotions, lip products, and color cosmetics where a non-greasy skin feel is required. Metalworking formulators incorporate DOA into cutting fluids and specialty lubricant blends. Dioctyl adipate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with bulk tanker options available. Standard grades include food-grade and technical-grade for high-volume buyers. Food-grade material is produced to meet FDA and relevant food-contact regulatory requirements. Purity is typically 99% minimum for food and plasticizer applications to ensure high performance. Contact us for supply of Dioctyl adipate Request Quote
