  • Applications

    Dimethyl suberate (CAS 1732-09-8) is the diester of suberic acid and is used as a processing solvent and chemical intermediate in polymer and coating formulations. It functions as a high-boiling solvent and processing aid for coatings, inks, and adhesives, helping control viscosity and cure behavior. It is also used as a monomer or co-monomer in the production of polyesters and specialty resins, contributing to flexible and hydrophobic properties. Additionally, it serves as a plasticizer for certain polymers and as a chemical intermediate for synthesizing higher-order ester derivatives. Its use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
