General Description

Suberic Acid Di(2-ethylhexyl) Ester is a chemical compound primarily known for its plasticizing properties and is often used in the production of plastics and rubber. It belongs to the chemical class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and their derivatives. SUBERIC ACID DI(2-ETHYLHEXYL) ESTER is recognized for being less toxic and more biodegradable than traditional plasticizers such as phthalates. It's also noted for its use in cosmetics, food packaging, medical products, and toys, but it is important to maintain safe handling as it may cause irritation on skin, eyes, and lungs. Its chemical formula is C20H38O4 and it is often recognized by the CAS number 33703-08-1.
