  • Applications

    Diisobutyl Glutarate (CAS 71195-64-7) is commonly used as a plasticizer for polymers and resins, providing flexibility in PVC, polyesters, and polyurethane formulations. It also functions as a processing solvent and diluent in coatings, inks, and adhesive systems. In cosmetics and personal care, it can serve as an emollient and solvent for fragrance materials and colorants. It is sometimes used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other glutarate esters for specialty polymers and coatings. Additionally, it may act as a high-boiling solvent and viscosity reducer in industrial formulations. Subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
