  • Applications

    Diheptyl succinate (CAS 15872-89-6) is used as a non-volatile solvent and plasticizer for polymers and coatings, improving processability and flexibility in systems such as PVC and polyesters. It can function as a processing aid in industrial formulations and as a component in inks and paints. In perfumery and cosmetics, it serves as a fragrance solvent and fixative and as a skin-conditioning emollient. It may also be employed as a lubricant base or additive in specialty lubricants and as a solvent in cleaning formulations where a hydrophobic, high-boiling ester is advantageous.
