Diisopropyl sebacate (DIPS) is highly valued in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a lightweight emollient and skin-conditioning agent. It delivers a smooth, non-greasy skin feel with excellent spreadability, making it a preferred choice for formulators seeking a luxurious finish without heaviness. DIPS is used as a carrier and solvent for UV filters in sunscreens. It also functions as an emollient base in bath oils, hair sprays, skin care lotions, men’s grooming products and a co-ingredient in lipsticks, deodorants and nail polishes.
DIPS is used as a plasticizer for PVC, cellulose esters and synthetic rubbers, where it improves flexibility, particularly at low temperatures. It delivers good ageing resistance and thermal stability, making it suitable for long-life polymer applications where performance across a wide temperature range is required.
With its excellent pour point performance and thermal stability, diisopropyl sebacate is used as a synthetic lubricant base fluid and additive. It is widely used in high-temperature lubricants, low-temperature speciality lubricants, compressor oils and speciality greases.
In coatings, inks and adhesive formulations, DIPS acts as a plasticizer and flow modifier. It improves film formation, flexibility and crack resistance. Its compatibility with a wide range of resin systems makes it a versatile functional additive for solvent -borne and speciality applications.
