Diisononyl Adipate (DINA)

Application

Diisononyl adipate (DINA) is a light colored and oily liquid plasticizer which is used in polymeric systems based on vinyl, nitrocellulose and rubber. In these systems, DINA adds flexibility to products at low temperatures. Other features would include good electrical properties, good stability to heat, impact resistance, and good resistance to weathering. DINA can be blended with other plasticizers such as Dioctyl Phthalate (DOP) or used alone. DINA can be used in applications that require aversion to discoloration by heat and ultraviolet light, such as clear films for food packaging. DINA is also used as a skin condition agent in cosmetic and personal care applications.

In Lubricants, another use for DINA in formulations that require low temperature flow properties is as an adipate diester fluid. In these applications DINA can be used as a synthetic base oil. DINA can also be used to improve additive solubility, reduce varnish and extend fluid life.
