Diisononyl adipate

The Uses of Diisononyl adipate

Diisononyl Adipate is a an additive used in the preparation of polyurethane-based plastic bonded explosives.

General Description

Colorless liquid.

Reactivity Profile

Diisononyl adipate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides. Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire [USCG, 1999].

Health Hazard

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.
