Other names: Diisopropyl sebacate, Decanedioic acid

Diisopropyl Sebacate, also known by the names Diisopropyl Sebacate or Decanedioic acid, is a chemical substance that is characterized by harmlessness and mild or no toxicity. It represents a capsule molecule whose characteristic properties include hydrophobic behavior, low melting point, and easy miscibility with most organic solvents. This organic compound, belonging to the class of esters, is a colourless and almost odourless liquid in its pure form.

Diisopropyl Sebacate is suitable for a wide range of industrial products such as cosmetic and personal care products, laundry and cleaning products, adhesives and sealants, lubricants and lubricating oils, building materials, child care products, household products and furniture. Specifically in the cosmetics industry, this ester is often used as an ingredient in skin and hair care products, as well as in perfumes and fragrances. Its main function is to work as an emollient, a lubricant on the surface of the skin and a moisturizer. Its presence helps to soften and smooth the skin, improve the spreadability of products and increase their ability to retain water. Diisopropyl Sebacate also helps prevent corrosion of various materials.
