What are adipates ?
Adipates are esters mainly used in polymeric matrices. These materials are strong yet lightweight and are good light insulators. They are namely used in :
- Solvents (coatings, paint, lubricants, ink…)
- Industrial cleaner
- Plasticizers for cellulosic resins
- Food packaging
However, due to potential carcinogenic effects, the Regulation (EC) N°1272/2008 requires specific labelling for products containing adipates.
FILAB laboratory is able to assist you in analyzing adipates found in your industrial matrices.
