Frequently Asked Questions

What is diisopropyl sebacate used for?

Diisopropyl sebacate (CAS 7491-02-3) is the diisopropyl diester of sebacic acid. It is used as an emollient ester and solubilizer/carrier in skin-care and personal-care formulations, providing emolliency and slip in leave-on products.

What is diisopropyl sebacate, chemically?

It is the diisopropyl diester of sebacic acid (a C10 dicarboxylic acid), CAS 7491-02-3, formula C16H30O4, in the ester family. It is supplied as an oil-phase emollient and carrier solvent.

What is the difference between diisopropyl sebacate and diisopropyl adipate?

Both are diisopropyl diesters used as emollients, but sebacate is built on the longer C10 sebacic-acid backbone (CAS 7491-02-3) versus adipate's C6 adipic-acid backbone (CAS 6938-94-9). The chain length affects spreadability and viscosity; specify by CAS when ordering.

What HS code is diisopropyl sebacate classified under?

It ships under HS 2917.13 (azelaic acid, sebacic acid, their salts and esters). Verify the destination tariff line and documentation with your customs broker.
