Dimethyl Glutarate Dimethyl Glutarate

Dimethyl Glutarate is a dibasic ester belonging to the family of dimethyl aliphatic dicarboxylates. It is a high-purity, clear liquid valued for its excellent solvency, low toxicity, and high biodegradability, making it a favored "green" alternative to traditional solvents and plasticizers. As a key chemical intermediate, its ester groups are highly reactive, allowing it to participate in a wide range of synthesis reactions, including transesterification, polymerization, and condensation. It is commonly available as part of a mixture (Dimethyl Succinate/Glutarate/Adipate) but is also offered as a pure product for specialized applications.

Application:

1.Polymer Industry: Serves as a monomer or co-monomer in the synthesis of polyesters, polyamides, and other condensation polymers, imparting flexibility and specific properties to the final resin.

2.Plasticizer: Used as an environmentally friendly plasticizer for various polymers and resins, offering good gelatinizing properties and low volatility.

3.Organic Synthesis: An important building block and intermediate in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and fragrance synthesis.

4.Solvents: Acts as a high-boiling, polar aprotic solvent for coatings, inks, and cleaning formulations.

5.Electrolytes: Used as a component in battery electrolytes.

Safety profile:

Dimethyl Glutarate is  generally considered to have low acute toxicity. It is mildly irritating to the skin and eyes. As with many organic liquids, good industrial hygiene practices should be followed, including the use of gloves and safety goggles. It is biodegradable and presents a low environmental hazard. It is combustible and should be kept away from ignition sources.

Dimethyl glutarate is an irritant to the human skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.

Storage requirements:

keep the product dry

relative humidity < 50%

protect product against influences of weather and contamination

Transport & Packaging:

Dimethyl Glutarate for technical applications is solely supplied in packaging of different sizes . It can be packaged in various items: 25 kg drums, 1000 kg IBC drums.
