  • Applications

    Didodecyl butanetetracarboxylate (CAS 287975-63-7) is a hydrophobic, multi-carboxylate ester that functions as a nonionic surfactant and dispersing/emulsifying additive for industrial formulations. In coatings and inks, it acts as a pigment dispersant and rheology modifier, improving stability, leveling, and flow. In polymers and plastics processing, it serves as a plasticizer and processing aid, assisting the processing of polyesters and related resins. It can act as a stabilizer and compatibilizer in polymer blends and composites, enhancing interfacial compatibility. It may also be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and as a component in cleaning formulations where surface activity is desired, all subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
