  • Applications

    1,4-Didodecyl butanedioate (didodecyl succinate) is commonly used as a non-phthalate plasticizer for polymers and coatings, improving flexibility and processability in PVC, polyesters, and related resins. It also serves as a processing aid and lubricant in industrial manufacturing and extrusion. In cosmetics and personal care, the long-chain diester functions as an emollient and conditioning agent, contributing slip and a smooth skin feel in formulations. It may be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty esters and as a co-solvent or processing aid in coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations. Additionally, it can act as an additive in adhesives and sealants to improve flexibility.
