Description
Dimethyl adipate (DMA) is a colourless and flammable liquid. It is soluble in alcohol and
ether but sparingly soluble in water. DMA is incompatible with strong oxidising agents,
and on decomposition, it emits carbon monoxide, irritating and toxic fumes and gases,
and carbon dioxide. DMA reacts with acids, alkalis, and strong oxidants. DMA is synthesised
by the esterification of adipic acid. DMA is part of a dibasic ester (DBE) blend
used as a major ingredient in several paint strippers, and the DBE blends used in paint
stripping formulations contain a major portion (about 90%) of DMA. DMA is used as
a chemical intermediate (polymers, agrochemicals), cellulose resins, a speciality solvent
(inks, coatings, adhesives), and an emollient and can also be utilised as a paint remover
and plasticiser.

Uses
Dimethyl adipate is used in cosmetics (in emollients and skin conditioning).It is used as a plasticizer for cellulose-type resins and a finish remover.It is also used in agrochemicals and dye as well as a precursor for the preparation of active pharmaceutical ingredients. Further, it serves as a polymer intermediate. In addition to this, it is employed as a solvent for paint stripping and resins.
