  • Applications

    Diisobutyl Succinate (CAS 925-06-4) is primarily used as a plasticizer for polymers such as PVC and other resins, providing flexibility at lower temperatures. It also serves as a solvent and processing aid in coatings, inks, and adhesives. It acts as an intermediate in the synthesis of succinate-based esters and other bio-based plasticizers. In cosmetics/personal care, Diisobutyl Succinate may be used as a solvent or emollient in formulations, subject to regulatory limits and formulation restrictions.
