  • Applications

    Dipropyl malate (CAS 6947-10-0) is commonly used as a plasticizer for polymers such as PVC to improve flexibility and processability. It also functions as a solvent or processing aid in coatings, paints, inks, and adhesive formulations. In fragrance and cosmetics, it may be used as a fragrance component or solvent and as an intermediate for the synthesis of other malate esters or specialty plasticizers. Additionally, it can serve as an industrial intermediate in esterification-based formulations and as a carrier in certain formulation systems.
