What is Dimethyl Adipate DMA CAS 627-93-0?

Dimethyl Adipate, commonly abbreviated DMA, is the dimethyl ester of adipic acid and is also called dimethyl hexanedioate. It is a defined C6 dicarboxylate ester used in coatings, inks, resins and chemical synthesis.

Is Dimethyl Adipate the same as a dibasic ester DBE blend?

No. DMA is one defined adipate ester, while commercial DBE products are mixed dimethyl esters that usually also contain glutarate and succinate components. The difference matters for evaporation profile, solvent composition and reaction stoichiometry.

What are the main applications of Dimethyl Adipate?

DMA is used as an oxygenated co-solvent in coatings, inks and resins, and as feedstock for beta-hydroxyalkylamide powder-coating curing agents. It can also be hydrogenated to 1,6-hexanediol and used as a synthetic intermediate for specialty esters and polymers.

What physical form and typical properties should be expected?

DMA is normally a clear, colourless liquid with density around 1.06 g/cm3 and a melting point near 8 C. Its boiling point is about 109-110 C at reduced pressure, and it is soluble in common organic solvents but only slightly soluble in water.

What specification points matter for industrial-grade DMA?

Typical quality checks include assay, water content, acid value and colour, with low moisture and low acid value being important for sensitive synthesis routes. The required limits should be confirmed against the intended solvent or intermediate use.

Product Description

Dimethyl Adipate (DMA) CAS 627-93-0 is dimethyl hexanedioate, with EC 211-020-6 and molecular formula C8H14O4.

Synonyms: Dimethyl Adipate; DMA; Dimethyl hexanedioate; Adipic acid dimethyl ester.

CAS: 627-93-0.

Molecular formula: C8H14O4.

It is supplied as a clear, colourless liquid.

It is positioned as an adipate ester for coating, ink, resin and chemical-intermediate work.

It is the defined single substance DMA, not a mixed dibasic ester (DBE) solvent.

It is used in coating, ink and resin formulations specifying an oxygenated ester co-solvent or a pure adipate ester.

It is used as feedstock for selected beta-hydroxyalkylamide powder-coating curing-agent and specialty coating-resin intermediate manufacture.

It is used in specialty ester and polymer-intermediate synthesis that specifies dimethyl adipate.

It is used in plasticizer and resin-development processes requiring a defined C6 dicarboxylate ester rather than a mixed DBE solvent.

It can be hydrogenated to 1,6-hexanediol.

It has a density around 1.06 g/cm3, a melting point near 8 C and a boiling point about 109-110 C at reduced pressure.

It is soluble in common organic solvents but only slightly soluble in water.

Confirm assay, water content, acid value, colour and test method against the intended use.

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.

Use suitable PPE when handling and follow the current SDS.
