  • Applications

    Ethylene sebacate (CAS 5578-82-5) is a diester of sebacic acid and ethylene glycol. In industrial practice it is used primarily as a plasticizer for polymers, notably PVC and other resins, to improve flexibility and reduce brittleness. It may be used as a processing solvent or co-solvent in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations, aiding film formation and flow. It can function as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty esters or in plasticizer blends. It may also be used in cosmetic formulations as an emollient or solvent component, depending on regulatory allowances. Applications are subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
