Adipate is a type of organic compound that contains two carboxylic acid groups attached to a central six-carbon chain. The most common adipate compound is di(2-ethylhexyl) adipate (DEHA), which is a colorless, odorless liquid that is used as a plasticizer in various industrial applications, including the production of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) products, such as cables, films, and sheets. Adipates are also found in some cosmetic and personal care products as emollients, which help to soften and moisturize the skin. Other adipate compounds include dimethyl adipate, diethyl adipate, and dibutyl adipate, which are used as solvents, intermediates, and additives in various chemical processes.
