Description

Diisopropyl adipate (CAS 6938-94-9 ), also sold under the trade name Ceraphyl 230 and commonly abbreviated as DIPA, is a light ester used across personal care, plastics, and industrial lubrication. It functions as an emollient, solvent carrier, and plasticizer depending on the formulation context. In personal care manufacturing, DIPA is used as a skin-feel emollient and solvent in lotions and sunscreens. Its low viscosity allows it to carry actives and pigments without a heavy or greasy finish. Formulators in the plastics industry incorporate it as a plasticizer to improve flexibility and processability. This material is frequently used in polymer films and coatings. In metalworking and industrial lubricant formulations, it functions as a base fluid or co-solvent, contributing lubricity in cutting fluids. It is also utilized in release agents. Its FEMA 4474 status also qualifies it for evaluation in flavor applications where specific ester carriers are required for the final product formulation. Diisopropyl adipate is supplied as a clear, low-viscosity liquid in drum and IBC quantities. It is available in cosmetic-grade and technical-grade specifications to meet the requirements of buyers. Suppliers commonly offer material conforming to standard ester purity benchmarks. Documentation is available for REACH and ISO-compliant procurement to ensure full regulatory adherence for industrial use. Contact us for supply of Diisopropyl adipate Request Quote
