CAS #504-63-2
Dibasic Ester (DBE) is an ester of a dicarboxylic acid. Depending on the application, the alcohol may be methanol or higher molecular weight monoalcohols. Different mixtures of methyl dibasic esters are commercially produced from short-chain acids such as adipic acid, glutaric acid, and succinic acid. They are non-flammable, biodegradable, non-corrosive, and have a mild, fruity odour.
