Dibasic Ester (DBE) (CAS 95481-62-2) is a clear, colorless liquid solvent blend of dimethyl adipate, dimethyl glutarate and dimethyl succinate, with a mild fruity odor, used for paint stripping, ink cleaning and foundry core binder systems. Characterized by its low volatility and high boiling point, it serves as an eco-friendly alternative to aggressive chlorinated solvents. This clear, colorless liquid possesses a mild, pleasant fruity odor and exceptional solvency for a wide range of resins and polymers. DBE is highly stable under normal conditions and offers a high flash point , significantly improving workplace safety compared to traditional volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is readily biodegradable, making it a sustainable choice for industrial cleaning.
