  • Applications

    Diethylhexyl Succinate (CAS 2915-57-3) is primarily used as a non-phthalate plasticizer for polymers, notably PVC and other flexible polyesters, improving softness and processability; it also serves as a solvent and processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives formulations; in cosmetics and personal care, it functions as an emollient and solvent to improve texture and spreadability, and as a carrier for fragrance ingredients in perfumery; it may also be used as a solvent or processing aid in various industrial formulations.
